Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong, says the government has released $2 million for evacuation of Ghanaian students from Ukraine. He said, once that was exhausted, another tranche would be made available to ensure that all Ghanaians who had moved to neighbouring countries around Ukraine were evacuated to Ghana. The Minister disclosed this when he led some government officials to welcome the second batch of 24 Ghanaian students from Ukraine who were being sheltered in Poland. Earlier this week, 17 of the students had arrived in the country from Romania, adding up to 41, the total number of Ghanaian students who have arrived. The Government has arranged with five airlines – Qatar, Turkish, Ethiopian, KLM, and Lufthansa Airlines, to airlift Ghanaians from various neighbouring countries around Ukraine.
