The Ghana Union of Traders
Association (GUTA) has called for a boycott of goods imported from Nigeria.
The union made the call following
the closure of the Nigerian border. In August, the federal government closed
land borders to check activities of smuggling.
But David Kwadwo Amoateng,
regional secretary of GUTA, said the federal government is not being fair to
the foreign trader.
Amoateng said boycotting goods
from Nigeria would serve as pay back “to their government’s action.”
“Either somebody’s bread has been
buttered or we are cowards. Government is not being fair to us,” GhanaWeb
quoted him as saying.
“Let’s boycott Nigerian products
as payback to their government’s action. How can we be slaves in our own
country?”
He said Dangote cement had taken
over the market in Ghana while the local ones were suffering.
Last week Shirley Ayorkor
Botchwey, Ghana’s foreign and regional integration minister, visied Geoffrey
Onyeama, her Nigerian counterpart in Abuja and appealed to the federal
government to allow goods from her country into Nigeria.
