What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

A research fellow at CDD-Ghana Kwame Sarpong Asiedu, has stated that the Ghana we know today is the result of Kwame Nkrumah's vision.

According to Asiedu, Nkrumah played a pivotal role in shaping Ghana and was crucial in establishing the country as a republic.

Mr Asiedu acknowledged that while several others contributed to Ghana's liberation from colonial rule, it was Nkrumah’s ideas and leadership that fundamentally shaped the modern nation. “While many contributed to our fight against colonialism, it was Kwame Nkrumah's vision that defined the Ghana we see today. His contributions were crucial in forming the country as it is now,” Asiedu said.

This statement follows President Akufo-Addo’s recent remarks rejecting the idea that Ghana was founded solely by Nkrumah. President Akufo-Addo emphasized the collective effort of many leaders in Ghana’s liberation.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Monday, August 5, Mr Asiedu explained that, “The entity Ghana if you tell me that people contributed to our liberation from colonialism I agree, and their effort should not be discouraged. What I’m saying is that their contribution was towards our liberation, but to the formation of the country Ghana as we see it today, it was Kwame Nkrumah's thinking and we cannot take that away from him, because it is clearly stated.”
