Ghana won’t accept UK deportees, migrants – Gov’t

The government has debunked a story in a UK newspaper to the effect that Ghana has agreed for UK authorities to send migrants to the West African country for processing and resettlement.

A statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration said Ghana has not engaged with the UK on any such plan and does not intend to consider any such operation in future.

In September 2021, the ministry debunked in a tweet a news item on Sky News UK about a possible Ghana interest in a partnership agreement with the UK to host deported or returned migrants of Third countries from the UK.

The Ministry said the government’s position has not changed.

It advised that any publication that implies otherwise should be ignored.
