Therefore, we of the Ghana Union of the Traders\u2019 Associations wish to appeal to the Committee on Foreign Retail Trade to, as a matter of urgency resume its operations without any delays as the behaviour of the Nigerian traders has seriously provoked Ghanaian traders and reigniting agitations in the markets,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former President for All Nigerians Community- Ashanti Region, Nkem Tony Onyeagolu, has appealed to the President of Ghana, Nana Addo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/05\/27\/buhari-receives-ghana-president-akufo-addo-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Akufo-Addo<\/a> to issue a directive for the re-opening of shops owned by Nigerian traders.<\/p>\n<p>Onyeagolu said since the closure of their retail shops by local authorities, things have got worse for some of the Igbo traders in the country, explaining that the majority of Igbo traders have been victimised by the move and are hard-pressed financially, highly indebted and have not been able to pay off loans they took from financial institutions to run their businesses.<\/p>\n<p>In reaction, NUTAG President, Chukwuemeka Nnaji urged President Akufo-Addo of Ghana, President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, ECOWAS Commission and the international community to \u201curgently intervene and prevent GUTA from attacking our members as they have promised in their last press release.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nnaji said the current decision by GUTA comes as a surprise since it had been able to appeal to the Inter-Ministerial Committee of both countries to review the issue.<\/p>\n<p>This is to allow \u201cour members who have not registered with the GIPC to stay out the remaining days, months or years of their tenancy agreement after which they are supposed to pack out because the rent for those shops shall not be renewed and will not be allowed to rent shops anywhere in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NUTAG had been ordered to collect all the business documents of members, including the tenancy agreements of the respective shops or stalls.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Nigerian union, GUTA\u2019s failure to adhere to the review of the concession granted by the two co-chairmen of Joint Implementation Taskforce (JIT), as well as its threat, is unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are particularly concerned about this latest threat because GUTA has since 2007 been issuing and carrying out attacks against Nigerian traders in Ghana. The use of such violent measures has not ended for any of the traders from the two brotherly countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are appealing to the President not to succumb to people who want to railroad him into an exercise which is purely an eviction disguised as concession,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>They said if GUTA acts on its threat, thousands of Nigerians will be made to suffer going back to Nigeria with little or nothing as many of them had their shops locked for almost two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) has asked the Committee on Foreign Retail Trade, to resume operations to close down shops of undocumented foreign retailers.
