I was not involved in World Cup Visa Sales – Maame Efua Houadjeto
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Maame Efua Houadjeto, has denied personal involvement in the sale of visas or the collection of money from applicants in exchange for visa opportunities linked to Ghana’s tourism promotion activities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In a press statement issued on Friday, October 9, 2026, Mrs Houadjeto said her involvement in the initiative was in line with her official responsibilities and the Authority’s mandate to promote Ghana as a tourism destination.
