"53 years ago, when I walked through the gates of Makerere as a student, Nkrumah was called New Hall and the warden was the late Prof. Apollo Nsibambi.

I joined the Guild Council in my first year, and among the first things we did was to rename New Hall to Nkrumah Hall." - Hon. Gen. @otafiire_k, the keynote speaker at the #MakNkrumahDay
