A Deputy Education Minister, John Ntim Fordjour, has said that no element of LGBTQI+ practice will be allowed in the Ghanaian educational curriculum.

Speaking to Adom News correspondent Ohene Amponsah, the minister said the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has been working to achieve this objective.

Mr Fordjour noted that he and "his outfit have been cautious while working as watchdogs" to ensure they do not break this promise to the Ghanaian public.

John Ntim Fordjour said this after parliament deliberated on the Proper Sexual Human Rights & Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021 on Wednesday, July 5.

He stated that the bill will serve future generations well since the majority including religious leaders have accepted it.

On the likely diplomatic confrontations and the general effect on the country's economic activities, the Deputy Education Minister said Ghana will not fall for pressure from the West to dismiss the bill.

Mr Fordjour added that he does not believe the West will follow through with their threats.

He added that "a disagreement on LGBTQI+ opinions is not a call for any war between two nations and thus if it affects any trade, Ghana will take their business elsewhere."

The Deputy Education Minister is one of the eight MPs who sponsored the legislation through a private member's bill.
