The Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture has revealed government’s intentions to transform the Osu Castle into a presidential and governance museum.
This museum will be dedicated to Ghana’s former presidents and will serve to deepen understanding of the nation’s political history.
The Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Dr. Ibrahim Awal Mohammed, shared this announcement in Accra.
This initiative aligns with the ministry’s goal of establishing a space that commemorates and honors Ghana’s past presidents.
Dr. Mohammed stated, “We are planning to establish new museums across the country. We’re starting with the heroes’ park for the big six. We will modernize circles like the Danquah circle, Busia circle at 37, in Saltpond, Tamale, Kyebi, and other regions next year.”
He added, “Once renovated and modernized, the Osu Castle will serve as a presidential museum dedicated to all former presidents of Ghana.”
Additionally, the ministry is seeking media support for the Destination Ghana Project, which aims to boost the tourism industry and enhance its contribution to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The project aspires to attract four million domestic and international visitors to various tourist sites across the country.
Dr. Mohammed shared these details during an Editor’s Forum, seeking media collaboration to foster industry growth. He emphasized that the project’s objective is to generate revenue surpassing $6 billion and create over 150,000 job opportunities within four years.
