Meanwhile, Madam Hannah Tetteh revealed that it will take, at least,  two years for the UK’s exit process out of the EU to conclude.

She added that, though the UK’s exit presents an opportunity for Ghana to renegotiate trade agreements with Britain, Ghanaians will have to remember that the EU will still have an influence on Ghana’s trade agreements in Europe.

“ We have trade agreements with Germany, France, Italy and other countries who are still in the European Union. The influence is still there”, she said in an interview on the CITI Breakfast Show.
