Nigerian Gov't pensioners to meet at High Commission

Accra, March 3, GNA - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform all Ghanaian Pensioners, who served in the Nigerian Public Services, to call at the High Commission of the Federal Republic in Accra on Tuesday March 9.

The rest are letters of retirement issued by the government, letters of promotion and two coloured passport photographs.

The statement also requests Mr Hayford Sakyi of Tema and Louis Sakyi to contact the legal and consular Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Room 308) for an important discussion.
