Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Peter Turkson, the highest-ranking African person at the Vatican. Cardinal Turkson, from Ghana, headed the Vatican office that handled migration issues, the environment and COVID-19 response. The 73-year old Ghanaian was replaced by deputy Michael Czerny, a Czech-born Canadian and Sister Alessandra Smerilli, an Italian economist who has spearheaded the Vatican’s COVID-19 response. The announcement follows the results of an internal investigation conducted earlier. #SignalNewsNG
