President Akufo-Addo has inaugurated the J. B. Danquah Memorial Centre in Kyebi in the Eastern Region.
The GH¢2.2 million J.B Danquah Memorial Centre was built with the intention that Ghanaians would never forget the contributions the man described as the Doyen of Ghana Politics made to the birth and development of the nation.
Chinese telecommunications company Huawei Ghana funded the J.B Danquah Memorial Centre project which has facilities including an office complex, an exhibition centre, a conference hall, a children’s library, an adult’s library and an ICT centre with over 30 computers and accessories.
The inauguration was witnessed by the Okyenhene, Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin; the Minister of Communications, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful; the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Samuel Atta Akyea, and other dignitaries.
The President, however, said many assumed they knew everything about Dr Danquah but the centre’s library, which was yet to be stocked with a wide array of books and scholarly articles of Dr Danquah, would show that there was still a lot to learn about him.
“It is my hope and prayer that everyone who uses this centre will be inspired by the life of this most remarkable man who was responsible for so many of the positive things that characterised the origins and development of our nation,†he added.
The President explained that the centre would also provide a platform for the youth of his native Kyebi to leap into the digital world.
