PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THE COUNTRY BECAUSE THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE – Akosua Hanson

Akosua Hanson emphasized that this trend should serve as a warning sign to the government, underlining the importance of creating an environment in which citizens can travel abroad for various purposes and subsequently return home.

“And this should be a flag. This should be a huge red flag to the government. Because people should be able to travel and go and come back,” she warned.

“Every time I’m trying to apply for certain things, certain governments have created arts funds for their citizens to get funding to come to Ghana and stuff. Me, my government has nothing like that,” she recounted.

She further expressed their desire for individuals to travel not out of necessity to escape dire situations but rather as part of a broader nation-building effort.

“So I wish that people can travel. But it’s not because we are escaping this very dangerous situation. It’s because we are traveling, because we want to build, we want to see it’s part of nation building,” she added.
