“These desks are equipped to support Ghanaian students with emergency and guidance on immigration and other critical matters.”
Mr. Ablakwa emphasized that the initiative was rolled out without recruiting new staff or incurring additional costs. “This initiative has been implemented without the recruitment of new staff or incurring additional costs as the desks are manned by reassigned consular staff and will be scaled up to cover all missions in subsequent phases,” he added.
