Cross-border onion trade between Nigeria and Ghana has officially resumed following the lifting of restrictions that had disrupted the movement of goods and stranded dozens of trucks along the trade corridor. “All trucks conveying onions between Nigeria and Ghana are authorised to resume movement, and all affected trucks have been released,” he said. The resumption follows weeks of disruption triggered by a dispute involving onion traders and authorities along the Ghana corridor. “All outstanding issues that previously disrupted trade and posed challenges to the safety and commercial activities of Nigerian and Ghanaian onion traders have been addressed,” he stated. Stakeholders also expressed optimism that renewed cooperation between Nigerian and Ghanaian authorities would strengthen regional trade ties and prevent future disruptions.
