Nkrumah’s unfinished Pan-African project must be completed – P.L.O. Lumumba

Speaking at a ceremony marking the 117th anniversary of Nkrumah’s birth at Nkroful, Professor Lumumba said Nkrumah transformed the struggle for African independence by linking Ghana’s freedom to the liberation and unity of the entire continent.

Lumumba, Nkrumah was different from many earlier African leaders because he regarded Ghana’s independence as meaningful only when linked to the freedom of the rest of Africa.

Lumumba said Ghana subsequently became a centre for African liberation movements, attracting leaders and intellectuals from across the continent and the diaspora.
