The statement was issued in commemoration of Founder�s Day, set aside to honour Ghana�s first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. September 21, of each year, Founder�s Day, is the birthday of Dr. Nkrumah, which is celebrated as a holiday in Ghana in honour of the country�s first President for his unparalleled selflessness, dedication to the liberation of Ghana and Africa and his unending spirit of no-compromise in so far as Ghana�s interest was at stake.
