Volta Region loses close to 500,000 people due to net migration – Statistician

According to Prof. Samuel Kobina Annim, the government statistician, the Volta Region has the most net migration.

This was the difference between people moving into the region and people moving out of the region, according on data from the 2021 Population and Housing Census.

Sharing this via his Twitter handle, Prof. Samuel Annim indicated that in the Greater Accra Region, over 1.1 million people had moved to the region.

That figure, he explained, is more than five times the number in the Ashanti Region.

“Greater Accra gained over 1.1 million persons through net migration, over five times higher than Ashanti, the region with the second highest net migration. Ten regions had negative net migration, with Volta recording the highest net loss of almost half a million persons,” he wrote.
