At a ceremony in Accra yesterday to formalise the process, the 37 people were made to swear an oath of allegiance to the country to that effect. Presenting certificates of citizenship to them, Mr Mahama said their naturalisation made them entitled to every privilege deserving and due any Ghanaian. He said he was optimistic that the skills and knowledge acquired by the naturalised Ghanaians would contribute immensely to the development of the country. “ You have expressed so much gratitude to me and other stakeholders for the opportunity given you today, but I do not think you have to thank me because I have only restored to you what rightfully belongs to you and was painfully taken away” he said . http://africandiasporaleaders.com/eriekabennett/
