The Volta Regional Command of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) would this week begin the registration of ECOWAS nationals resident in the region.
The exercise is in collaboration with the district assemblies and the Regional Coordinating Directorate.
Mr Wisdom Dzomeku, Assistant Superintendent of Immigration, speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview said the exercise would document information needed for the easy location of these nationals.
He said the district assemblies also needed this information for statistical purposes.
Mr Dzomeku said those to be registered include Fulani Herdsmen.
Meanwhile, the officials of the Immigration Service in collaboration with the Police, have located, cordoned off and sent back five herdsmen with 600 cows back to Togo.
They recently illegally entered the country through Agortime-Kpetoe.
Mr Dzomeku said this followed reports by residents of Agortime-Kpetoe about the herdsmen and their cattle destroying farms in the area.
