"I look forward to the time when there will be a chain of Ghana Colleges in all the four territories which make up the Gold Coast, leading to the founding of a very high institution in this country. In the name of the people of the Gold Coast, in the name of humanity and in the name of Almighty God, I bid you speed forward till we realise a free and United Gold Coast in a United Africa." - Dr. Kwame Nkrumah at the opening of #GhanaColl in July, 1948 in Cape Coast
This piece of the speech by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is at the opening of Ghana National College sums up the vision the founder of the college held. The founder in my view, sought to build an afrocentric educational system underpinned by the tenets of nationalism, patriotism, leadership and exemplar. I see these tenets etched in the foundation of Ghana National College.
What have you done as an OLD NATIONAL (alumnus/ alumna) or a current NATIONAL (a current student), towards ACHIEVING THIS VISION?
