A former government spokesperson on governance and security, Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, says Ghana must educate its informal sector on terrorism.
He believes this education should focus on people who trade across borders. This is due to recent concerns after an attack in Burkina Faso.
Boakye-Danquah emphasized the need for Ghana to create its own security solutions. He also urged the country to become more self-reliant in its security measures.
He stated that public awareness about terrorism risks is crucial. This is especially important for those who frequently travel between countries.
The call comes as Ghana assesses its security posture in light of regional events. Protecting its citizens and borders remains a top priority.
