CPP urges Ghanaians to revive Nkrumah’s vision of self-reliance and industrialisation
The General Secretary of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Harold Stephen Ato Eshun, has called on Ghanaians to renew their commitment to Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s vision of economic independence, industrialisation and African unity. He said persistent challenges including unemployment, corruption, economic difficulties, inequality and abandoned projects should prompt the country to critically examine how effectively it controls its resources and determines its economic future. Mr Eshun made the call ahead of Dr Nkrumah’s 117th birthday on Monday, September 21, saying the occasion should go beyond remembering Ghana’s first President to examining how his ideas could be applied to present-day development challenges. He said Nkrumah’s vision extended beyond Ghana’s independence from colonial rule to the political and economic emancipation of Africa.
