"I just returned to China from my trip back home, and I came bearing gifts for my friends at work."
After handing the fugu to his colleagues, they tried it on in the office and looked great in it.
"This is one of our traditional costumes in Ghana. I'm giving it to you as a gift."
He explained the fugu Wednesday concept to them and encouraged them to wear their traditional Ghanaian attire on those days since they had started doing some business in Ghana.
"Now in Ghana, civil servants wear it on Wednesdays and Fridays. So we have to 'do as the Romans do' because we have started doing business in Ghana. So I hope you like it."
The Chinese colleagues expressed their appreciation to their Ghanaian counterpart.
Fugu banter between Ghana and Zambia
On February 4, 2026, President John Mahama officially visited Zambia where he met President Hichilema.
On his arrival, President Mahama wore a fugu which many Zambians described as a blouse and attempted to mock his attire.
However, the Zambian President, publicly addressed the discussion and joined in celebrating Ghana’s cultural heritage.
In a surprising move, he announced tax-free importation of fugu for personal use, prompting admiration from citizens across Africa.
