Dr. Prempeh stated that about 150 Ghanaian students are currently studying at the University of Memphis alone, an indication of the high number of Ghanaian students in the US currently.

“We have many Ghanaian students who are currently pursuing their academic goals here in the US, and the University of Memphis alone currently has about 150 Ghanaian students.

“These Ghanaian students need field experience through internships with business organizations here in the US to support their development, so I urge you to provide them with these opportunities.”

Napo, who was addressing members of the Memphis Chamber of Commerce as part of his visit to the US, said Ghanaians, in general, are disciplined and hard-working people.

In this regard, he said that business organizations that would provide internship opportunities to Ghanaian students would never regret taking such actions, saying “Our students work hard”.

Napo also revealed that there are a number of business opportunities in Ghana that US organizations can take advantage of and make a profit, so they should consider investing in Ghana.

petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food processing, just to name a few, as some of the areas in which US companies can invest.

Napo said that in addition to Ghana being a peaceful country, the NPP government has also created an enabling environment for businesses to flourish, which US investors and businesses should take advantage of.
