Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah
A financial analyst and economist, Scott Bolshevik, has emphasised the need for all streets in Ghana and even the national currency to be renamed after Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
This, according to him, is to honour Nkrumah’s lasting legacy as the first president of the country,
He made this known in a post on his X page on Sunday, March 9, 2025.
“I wish Ghana would get a president who names everything after Nkrumah, street, region and currency. Your destination will be Nkrumah City, in Nkrumah Region,Bank charges 50 Nkrumahs. You’re HIV Nkrumah, Nkrumah commercial bank.Dr. Nkrumah “Africa’s Man of the Millennium”, he stated.
As Ghana’s first president, Nkrumah rolled out several ambitious projects in energy, education, industrial and maritime development.
He was a key founding father of the Organisation of African Union (OAU), an intergovernmental body that aims at promoting political and economic integration across the continent.
Several decades after his Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s passing, he remains a central figure in Ghana’s history, widely remembered for his contributions to the country and to Africa as a whole.
