Accra, July 22, GNA - Belgian and Manchester City winger Jeremy Baffour Doku has been granted a Ghanaian passport, cementing and maintaining his Ghanaian roots.
Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Minister of Foreign Affairs, successfully issued the 23-year-old winger with a chip-embedded passport.
Mr Ablakwa, in a social media post, said, “This was the wish of Jeremy and his family when they called on me last week – glad we successfully delivered chip-embedded passports today.
“As a dual citizen, he is legally entitled to a Ghanaian passport. This significant development confirms Jeremy Baafour Doku’s commitment to fully reconnect with Ghana despite playing for Belgium. I wish him the very best in his illustrious career.”
Doku, who is currently on a week-long visit to Ghana, has called on Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Mr Kofi Iddie Adams, the Minister of Sports and Recreation, among others.
He has also undertaken charity visits to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and has stated his intention to extend his philanthropic footprints across Ghana.
