The vision for united Africa begins with nations that are united - Western Regional Minister says at Nkrumahfest
He noted that while Ghana’s ethnic, cultural, religious and political diversity remained an important part of its identity, such differences must not undermine the country’s shared national purpose.
Western Regional Minister Joseph Nelson has called for renewed commitment to national unity, responsible governance, and inclusive development as Ghana honors the legacy of Kwame Nkrumah at Nkrumahfest 2026. Speaking at the event in Nkroful, Nelson emphasized that the foundation of Nkrumah's Pan-African vision lies in building a Ghana that is united, stable, and committed to its people's development.
He highlighted the importance of Ghana's ethnic, cultural, religious, and political diversity while urging that such differences should not undermine the country's shared national purpose. Nelson stressed that Ghana's commitment to Nkrumah's legacy must be reflected in peaceful communities, strong institutions, investment in young people, and development that reaches all parts of the country.
He identified the Western Region's natural resources, agricultural potential, coastline, industrial opportunities, and cultural heritage as assets that must translate into improved livelihoods. The Minister also described Nkroful as a place of profound historical significance, urging Ghanaians to express patriotism through service to their communities and respect for institutions.
