The Ghanaian government has initiated talks with the family of Guinea’s first President, Ahmed Sékou Touré, to acquire the home where Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah spent his final years as co-President of Guinea.
Announced by Minister for Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the move—directed by President John Dramani Mahama—aims to transform the residence into a heritage site that preserves Nkrumah’s legacy and offers visitors insight into his life and leadership.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is negotiating terms with the Sékou Touré family and consulting heritage experts to guide the renovation. Ablakwa assured the public that updates will be provided throughout the process, emphasizing transparency and accountability.
Dr. Nkrumah, Ghana’s founding president, lived in Guinea following his 1966 overthrow, serving as Co-President under Sékou Touré, a significant chapter in Pan-African history.
