The National Democratic Congress in the Volta Region have thrown their support for the organizers of ”open our borders”.
This was contained in a press release signed by Mr Sorkpa K. Agbleze, the Volta Regional Communications Officer of the NDC.
It would be recall that all borders in the Volta Region were closed at the hike of COVID-19 in Ghana by the orders of President Akufo-Addo and these borders remain closed since 2020.
Though some Members of Parliament from the Volta Region early this year, pleaded with the government to put up the necessary steps in place to open all the borders to both human and vehicular movement, it seems that their call has not been heeded to my the Akufo-Addo government.
The ”open our borders” organizers are of the view that demonstration is the only way for the government to hear their plight; how the closed borders continue to erode the economic gains of families in the Volta Region and the urgent need for the government to immediately open up the borders for business activities.
