Answer:

The first islamic entry in Ghana started in the 15th century due to commercial activities in West Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Traders of Hausa, Fulani and Borno tribes introduced Islam into Ghana and slowly started to spread around the country. Islam now is the second religion in the country with 17.6% of the population. The majority of the Muslims in Ghana are Sunni and the minority is Shia. The majority of the Muslim population in Ghana are located in Northern Ghana.
