I commend our High Commissioner to South Africa, His Excellency Benjamin Quarshie, for accompanying our brother all the way.
As we have already announced, Ghanaians who wish to be relocated back home should contact our High Commission to be assisted at the Government of Ghana’s expense.
The Mahama administration values every Ghanaian life anywhere in the world, and we shall never abandon our citizens in distress. Your welfare remains our utmost priority.
I look forward to hosting Mr. Asamoah when I return to Ghana later this week.
A warm Akwaaba to our cherished Ghanaian. It is well.
There is no place like home.”

The statement forms part of the government’s broader assurance that it remains committed to safeguarding the welfare of Ghanaians across the globe under the Mahama administration.
