He pledged to utilize the donation to renovate the museum, replace damaged furniture, and beautify the surroundings before September 21.
The Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Museum at Nkroful holds great historical significance, as it recounts the story of Dr. Nkrumah’s birth and his initial burial place upon his return to Ghana after his passing. Despite its importance, the museum has suffered neglect and deterioration over the years, warranting efforts to restore and preserve it as part of the national celebration of Dr. Nkrumah’s legacy.
