The Ghana Union of Traders Associations has commenced protest against the Buhari led continuous administration closure of its border, also lamenting over locked goods of its members in Nigeria.

Since the closure of Nigeria border on August 21, it’s been difficult for Ghanaian traders to convey their goods from Nigeria through Benin.

President of GUTA, Dr. Joseph Obeng, said, “About 100 trucks of goods belonging to Ghanaian traders have been locked up in Nigeria following that economic decision, with many of the traders who took loans for their businesses counting their losses.”

“We’re calling on the Ghanaian Government to try it’s best to enable traders whose goods have been locked up in Nigeria for over three months to recollect their wares.”

He further said, “the action by Nigeria had visited unexplainable difficulty on traders and called for urgent steps to tackle the situation.”

“Our traders bought goods from Nigeria, but for the past three months, they cannot bring them home to sell and get back their capital because their trucks are stranded.”

“The perishable goods have gone bad, and the goods that have been returned to warehouses in Nigeria are incurring more costs because of rent.”
