Mr. President, it is rather instructive that three University Professors Lungu, Botwe-Asamoah and Dompre, 2019, following Prof Busia's Research footprints provide evidence in a 28 page article with references and conclude unequivocally, that Dr. JB Danquah was Never Chief Campaigner or the Founder of the University of Ghana.

According to the learned Professors: “President Akufo -Addo's assertion during the launching of the 'university of Ghana's Endowment' on 7th May 2018 that “it was the inestimable work of J.B Danquah that mobilized the Ghanaian people to insist on the building' of the university of Ghana is grossly misleading.

If we must be charitable, it is a brazen attempt to re-cast Ghanaian historical facts. By that same token, his contention that ' It would be wholly appropriate to describe Joseph Boakye Danquah as the Founder of the University of Ghana is totally fallacious. It is a gross misrepresentation of history.

Those statements border on attempts at appropriating history and pilfering valor and service to country by other more notable figures and the collective citizenry, as yet another unjust and unearned historical dividends to a vastly over-rated political figure who more than once,

'First as faculty member, then as “Mastership” even turned down appointments to join the leadership of the top educational institution in the then Gold Coast, the Prince of Wales College { Now Achimota School]”

  Below is the full article written by Nana Frema Busia, in memory of her late father, Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia.
