Youssef Nkrumah, grandson of Ghana’s first President Kwame Nkrumah, has shared his disappointment over the naming of Kotoka International Airport.
During his first visit to Ghana, Youssef expressed confusion and a sense of lost pride. He argued that airports worldwide are often named after great leaders and figures who symbolize national achievements. In his view, Ghana’s main airport should reflect the country’s national pride rather than honor someone he perceives as having betrayed the nation.
The remark has sparked discussions on social media about the importance of naming key national landmarks and how such decisions reflect Ghana’s history and identity.
