Akufo-Addo sets up Diaspora Liaison Office
President Nana Akufo-,Addo has created an office
at the presidency responsible for creating a
database of exceptional Ghanaians abroad who have
special skills to contribute to government’s
development agenda.

This was revealed by presidential spokesperson
Mustapha Hamid during a briefing of the recent
28th AU Summit attended by the president.

According to Mr Hamid, “the president assured
the Ghanaian community [in Ethiopia] that he was
going to work with Ghanaian talent everywhere in
order to advance the Ghanaian agenda”.

In view of this, he revealed that Mr Akufo-Addo
“announced to them that he had set up an office
inside the presidency called the Diaspora Liaison
Office whose duty basically, if you want, is to
scout Ghanaian talents everywhere around the world
to be able to compile their databases, what their
skills and talents are in order for us to advance
the Ghanaian project”.

He was quick to add that the president was not
interested in the political leanings of such
people with the focus on how they can use their
knowledge and experiences for the benefit of the
country.

“He said it did not matter whether you are NDC
or NPP, once you are Ghanaian he is willing to
work with you to advance Africa,” Mr Hamid
reiterated.
