Although, Adesina did not reveal the agenda of the meeting in his post, it is however believed not unconnected with heightened tensions between the two neighbouring Nations caused by the closure of shops owned by Nigerian traders in Ghana.
The trade tension compelled Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama to summon Ghana’s Charge d Affaires to Nigeria, Ms Iva Denoo for discussions.
Onyeama had also met with representatives of Nigerian traders in Ghana, led by Jasper Emenike, the National President of Progressive Ambassadors of Nigeria (PAN), and the organisation’s National Director, Ruth Ango over the matter.
