While the Akosombo Dam (the Volta Project) is widely recognized as a major achievement (that Ghana still hasn't eclipsed, more than 60 years later), Nkrumah's initial vision for it was far more comprehensive.
He saw it not just as a power source but as an integrated project for broader agro-industrial development, including business opportunities, irrigation, and non-soil agriculture.
This suggests a more holistic and ambitious understanding of development than is often attributed to his industrialization drive sometimes.
A thread.
@gyaigyimii ...come and you want to impose your negotiation with the previous government which your spouses were part on the new government without allowing them the benefit of knowing what went into the negotiation? Ghana we dey.
@gyaigyimii Are they Teachers? This strike is pure politics and nothing more. You go for your negotiation with previous government, and your own branch association puts court injection on you from proceeding, but because of politics you failed to do the needful for five months. New gov't...
@VanessaEboateng Which market did she buy those items? It's a total lie, even n Tarkwa where things are expensive because of the mining activities, they cost less.
