The Nigeria Business Forum in Ghana has commended the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, for his intervention in the trade dispute between Nigeria and Ghana.
The forum’s commendation came after two other organisations, the Nigeria Union of Traders Association in Ghana (NUTAG) and the Nigeria-Ghana Business Council, had sent letters of appreciation and commendation to the Speaker over his recent visit to Ghana for the resolution of the dispute.
The forum, in a letter to the Speaker dated September 10, by its Executive Director, Amb. Oloye O. Fatuyi, said that Gbajabiamila’s visit to Ghana had calmed nerves.
It said: “The entire membership of the Nigeria Business Forum, Ghana would like to express our profound gratitude to you and your distinguished entourage for the unprecedented and all-important visit to Ghana in lieu of the unease being faced by Nigerian traders in Ghana.
“It is worth emphasising that your visit to Ghana does not only calm nerves but conveys your outstanding passion for Nigerians, both home and abroad.

“Your style of leadership is admirable and exemplary in every standard, not forgetting the highly exceptional diplomatic approach in engaging Ghanaian authorities on the subject matter.”
Noting that Gbajabiamila’s name “is written in gold as an outstanding and compassionate leader,” the forum said since the Speaker’s visit, the situation had become calm.
It continued: “However, both authorities should continue their diplomatic discourse to achieve a lasting and amicable resolution.”
The forum encouraged the Speaker not to relent as he had been striving to give the Nigerian people dividends of democracy.
