Acting High Commissioner to the UK has appealed to Ghanaians in the UK to contribute their skills and expertise to Ghana’s development.
 
Mrs. Matilda Alomatu Osei Agyeman assured that Ghana recognises these skills and talents gained during their stay in the UK and therefore, urged them to “continue to contribute your quota through investments in the various sectors of our economy…”
 
The acting High Commissioner was addressing a cross-section of Ghanaians based at a roadshow in the UK. 

The event was organised as part of the activities lined up ahead of the 3rd Ghana Diaspora Celebration and Homecoming Summit, to be held in Accra from July 3-6.
 
Also, she reiterated government’s commitment to the implementation of the Representation of People Amendment Act (ROPAA), which gives Ghanaians in the diaspora the right to vote.

 
Dignitaries at the event included Kwadwo Odame Antwi, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Development Company, who gave the Keynote address and the Deputy Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Peter Brennan.

Other sectional heads of the High Commission including, Joyce Asamoah Koranteng, Head of Commonwealth and Diaspora as well as Kofi Addo, Head Of Trade and Investment, also attended the meeting.
