The event closed with the Consul of the Ghana Embassy, Mr Timothy Aidoo speaking on behalf of the Ambassador who was away in Portugal.
Princess Akosua Sha Osei spoke about Wear Ghana Month and how the diaspora could get involved. ‘I am so very honoured to be here to celebrate this 62nd Independence of our country with you...We all know how much the world enjoys African products, however, we are not always part of the process. ...We must come together and develop lines of revenue by building businesses. As we live in the diaspora, we have the great privilege of being able to work with those interested in Ghanaian products directly. Let us think big and long term!’
