Speaking about the fair, Daniel Doe, Coordinator for Campus France Ghana said “we are excited to be puttingtogether this fair this year and more importantly having it in two cities, Accra and Kumasi. We are hopeful of getting people living outside these two cities to attend the fair as it presents a perfect opportunity to know all about pursuing tertiary or higher education in France and its benefits”.
