Ghana this week said that it will grant visa-free entry to all African passport holders effective May 25, to commemorate Africa Day.

President John Mahama said that the significant milestone is a push for continental integration and removes long-standing travel barriers for Africans visiting Ghana, positioning the country as a leader in promoting free movement across the continent, and builds on a stalled initiative by his predecessor, Nana Akufo-Addo.
