The development was disclosed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in a Facebook post following a meeting with the returnee.
According to Mr. Ablakwa, he hosted Asamoah at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and assured him of continued support as he reintegrates into life in Ghana.
“Yesterday, I joyfully hosted Mr. Emmanuel Asamoah, Ghana’s victim of xenophobia, who we relocated from South Africa,” he wrote.
He described the meeting as warm and encouraging, adding that discussions centered on rebuilding Asamoah’s life and exploring future opportunities.
“We had a great time together at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” he stated.
Mr. Ablakwa further revealed that Ibrahim Mahama has stepped in to provide financial backing for any business venture Asamoah chooses to pursue.
“I am pleased to disclose that business mogul, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, has reached out to me and offered to fully sponsor any business startup of Mr. Asamoah’s choice here in Ghana,” he added.
