Nnaji said that the call became imperative because over 160 businesses belonging to Nigerian traders in Ghana were still locked by the Ghanaian authorities. “We are appealing to our government to help so that Nigerian traders here will not die of hunger,” Nnaji said. Also, they requested for resident permit, standard control and Ghana Investment Promotion Council (GIPC) registration. He noted that most Nigerian traders do not have the GIPC registration, which cost as much as $1million or in equity, adding that they were given 14 days ultimatum to regularise the demands. “They are denying us our rights by delaying the renewal of our resident permit and increasing and introducing new fees every now and then,” he said.
