Papa Owusu-Ankomah in a shop
Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK
and Ireland Papa Owusu-Ankomah has assured Ghanaian business owners in the UK that
he will work to help address the challenges they face in the trade.
“The businesses you are engaged in
continue to make a positive impact on the economy back home, and that is why I
have come to see at first-hand where you are operating from,” Papa Owusu-Ankomah
said.
The High Commissioner gave the assurance
during a visit to about 45 Ghanaian owned businesses in the London area as part
of efforts to acquaint himself with their operational challenges and to see how
best to address them.
Most of the businesses he visited are
into the importation of fish, dairy products, drinks and vegetables from Ghana,
and they continue to have challenges with UK custom officials.
Owusu-Ankomah’s visit forms part of
his community outreach initiative aimed at meeting Ghanaians resident in the UK
and acquainting himself with their aspirations and challenges.
Notable among the shops visited
include Nyame Bekyere Groceries Brixton, Techiman Market in Harlesden, Kaneshie
Market Dalston, Uncle John’s Bakery Tottenham, among others.
Papa Owusu-Ankomah was accompanied on
the visit by his deputy, Rita Tani Iddi and other officials of the High
Commission.
