This brings a conclusion to the Ghana Government\u2019s evacuation exercise. This was disclosed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa when he met the evacuees on arrival at the Accra International Airport.<\/p>\n
Through this exercise, which started in May, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has evacuated nearly 1,900 Ghanaian citizens who voluntarily registered to be brought home. The remains of two Ghanaians who were unfortunately attacked and killed were also repatriated, while one returnee died upon arrival in Accra, bringing the total number of deaths recorded in connection with the evacuation exercise to three.<\/p>\n
Addressing the final batch of 41 returnees, the Minister for Foreign Affairs expressed appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for his untiring commitment to the welfare and safety of Ghanaians anywhere in the world. He urged them not to lose hope, but rather to remain resilient and channel their time, skills and energy towards building a better Ghana.<\/p>\n
The Minister further emphasised that, beyond the reintegration allowance provided by the Government, every returnee must prioritise their health and seek medical attention whenever necessary as they begin the process of rebuilding their lives back home.<\/p>\n
Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa assured the public that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would provide a full account of all funds expended throughout the evacuation process.
\nHe finally expressed gratitude to the various allied agencies, and private-sector partners whose support contributed to the successful evacuation exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
