Ghana has declined a donation offer of GH¢20 million (N2.4 billion) from MTN to support Ghanaian victims of the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
It declared that the government already made adequate financial provision for the evacuation and reintegration of Ghanaian citizens affected by the recent wave of xenophobia in South Africa.
The country has so far evacuated more than 1,500 Ghanaian citizens from South Africa after the recent wave of xenophobic attacks broke out in April.
Authorities repatriated a first batch of 300 Ghanaians in May. Another group of 1,000 citizens were repatriated in June. Last month, the authorities disclosed that another batch of 900 Ghanaians would be repatriated.
