    The government of Burkina Faso has named a major road in its capital town, Ouagadougou, after the first president of Ghana’s 4th Republic, the late Jerry John Rawlings.

    The naming was done during the inauguration of the Thomas Sankara Mausoleum, in honour of the late Burkinabe military leader’s friend, Jerry John (JJ) Rawlings.

    Reports indicated that the event was attended by a delegation from Ghana, including family members of the late former president.

    Visuals of the road-naming ceremony shared on social media showed two children of the late president – Kimathi Rawlings and Amina Rawlings – at the event.

    A signpost showing the name of the road reads, “AVENUE FLT LT JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS, ANCIE[N] PRESIDENT DU GHANA, NE LE 22/06/1947 – DCD LE 12/11/2020.”

    This is the second road in Burkina Faso to be named after a Ghanaian. The first major road was named in honor of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
