Ghana scraps visa requirement for Nigerians, other Africans

Date:

Ghana has joined a few African nations to approve a new visa-free travel policy for all African passport holders, effective from this year 2025.

The outgoing President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, who would step down January 6 after spending two terms in office since 2017, announced this Friday, while delivering his address to the parliament.

Akufo-Addo said: “We have tried to make real many of the slogans that have dominated our public discourse since independence.

“I am proud to have approved visa-free travel to Ghana for all African passport holders, with effect from the beginning of this year.

“This is the logical next step to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the workings of the largest trading bloc in the world.”
