41 Ghanaians who were stuck in the United States of America (USA) have safely arrived arrived back home in Ghana.
The evacuees touched down at the Kotoko International Airport on Saturday, June 6, 2020 at around 9:20am.
According to reports, the majority of them are students who were on an exchange program sponsored by the State Department of the US.
All 41 of them have since been checked into a hotel in Accra, as they begin a two-week mandatory quarantine.
Meanwhile, two more contingents from Burkina Faso and Turks and Caicos are expected to arrive later.
“The exchange program was supposed to be for ten months. So we were supposed to come back on June 8,” one of the students said.
“But we left our various states on June 3 and then we went to the USA to stay overnight and then we left.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration had already announced plans by the government to evacuate stranded Ghanaians from foreign countries.
