the man who built nation, not built his home

 From 1957 to 1966, Kwame Nkrumah ruled Ghana for nine years. During this time, he established at least one industry in each of the country's regions.

He created a number of brand-new industrial cities around Ghana, notably Tema and Akosombo. These industrial cities contained a number of businesses and manufacturing facilities that generated almost all the goods required by the economy while also providing jobs for the locals.

He constructed roads that are still in use 60 years later. In reality, Nkrumah's Tema Motorway, which was constructed, is currently the best road in Ghana.The Northern regions of Ghana were purposefully denied access to education and other forms of development by the Colonial government that dominated and exploited the country, forcing residents to relocate to the Middle and Southern Belts of Ghana in search of free labour. This was a tactic to split the nation in order to sow discord among the natives so they would not be able to perceive themselves as one people or people of equals and hence would not band together to resist colonial exploitation. Knowing this, Kwame Nkrumah offered free education to those of us in Ghana's Northern belt who had endured such severe exploitation and discrimination to aid in our recovery when he took office as a president

.Once more, Kwame Nkrumah erected a sizable African Line Hostel with the intention of providing free shelter for any African Freedom fighters seeking refuge in Ghana. This structure has been renovated, and it is now home to Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.

Without erecting even a single house or personal residence for himself, Kwame Nkrumah accomplished all of these things and a great deal more for Ghana and Africa as a whole. In actuality, neither in Ghana nor abroad, Kwame Nkrumah had a home that he constructed himself. The 6 feet of land on which he was buried and the memorial that was erected in his honour serve as his only homes. However, he created so much for many generations that we can appreciate now.
