The Ghana Mission in the United States of America (USA) has expressed hope that the US government will soon lift the visa restrictions sanction placed on a section of Ghanaian travelers to the States.

According to Ghana’s Ambassador to the US, Ambassador Baffour Adjei-Bawuah, his hope is derived from the robust mechanisms underway to deal with illegal migration to the States.
