    This will pave way for the closure of the Buduburam refugee camp which accommodates the Liberian refuges.
     
    The last batch of Liberian refugees who opted for voluntary repatriation have been sent to their country.
     
    Programs Officer for the Ghana Refugee Board, Tetteh Paddy in an interview with XYZ News said the refugees will be issued with permits to legalise their stay in the country.
     
    Over one thousand Liberian refuges have also applied for a special refugees status to enable them stay in Ghana.
     
    Mr Paddy however added that a lot of the requests will not be granted.
