Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has assured Ghanaian students studying abroad of the government’s commitment to increasing their monthly stipends.

While specific figures were not disclosed, Ablakwa revealed that consultations would soon begin to review and enhance allowances provided under government-supported programs.

He also pledged efforts to ensure the timely disbursement of stipends, addressing concerns about delays.

Currently, Ghanaian students in Benin enrolled in a one-year exchange program receive a monthly stipend of CFA 45,000 (GHS 1,147), along with a one-time book allowance of CFA 60,000 (GHS 1,500) and another CFA 60,000 for medical expenses.

However, students have raised concern about recent changes to the program’s duration, which has been reduced from 12 months to six months, making it challenging to meet academic requirements.

During an official visit to Cotonou, Benin, Ablakwa engaged with over 100 members of the Ghanaian community, emphasizing the government’s new policy to engage with Ghanaians abroad quarterly.

He highlighted the importance of responding proactively to their concerns, with Benin and Nigeria being the first countries on his travel schedule.

The visit also shed light on the growing Ghanaian presence in Benin, with over 2,000 nationals currently residing in the country.
