GEPA to open more schools around Africa – CEO

Plans are far advance by the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) to open schools in other African countries, Chief Executives Officer Dr Afua Asabea Asare has said.

Dr. Asabea Asare said GEPA has already opened a school in Nigeria to train Nigerians in export but the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has halted the opening of further schools in other countries.

Speaking in an interview on Onua TV’s Maakye hosted by Bright Kwasi Asempa, she explained that “we have plans to open schools in other African countries”.

“We are already in Nigeria and they pay in dollar and it helps the economy,” she said on Thursday, May 14.

Dr. Asabea Asare added that “Nigerians like our schools so we wanted to go to the African countries but the Covid-19 happened”.

“So after the pandemic we shall go to other countries with our schools,” she explained.
