Ethiopian Airlines Authority has put an end to the use of ‘Ghana must-go’ bags on all its flights.

The Airlines Authority who disclosed this in a statement maintained that Ghana must go bags destroy conveyor belt systems as a result of their shapeless nature.

According to the statement, individuals who have no alternative bags for packaging their luggage, shall securely encased in cartons with a sturdy, rectangular hardcover.

This move echoes a previous restriction introduced in 2017 by Dubai, labelling the bags as “non-compliant baggage.”

The Ghana Must Go bag, widely used in Nigeria, actually originated from Ghana.

Initially crafted in Ghana during the 1980s, this bag was designed to provide durability and affordability for transporting goods.

Its popularity surged in Nigeria during the 1983 expulsion of over a million undocumented West African migrants from the country.
