The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park praised Ghana's government for bringing back Founder's Day on September 21. Parliament passed the National Holidays and Commemorative Days Amendment Bill to make this happen. Dr Collins Rawlings Nunyonameh leads the memorial park as acting executive director. He released a statement calling the move a win for truth and fairness. The decision honors Dr Kwame Nkrumah as Ghana's real founder.

Memorial park officials said other people helped Ghana gain independence but Nkrumah stands above all others. His push for immediate self-rule motivated the entire nation and inspired Africa to reject colonial control. Guinea's former President Sekou Toure once said critics who tried to shame Nkrumah only made him more glorious. Time cannot damage his achievements or hurt his proud reputation. These words came from Toure's 1972 tribute to the Ghanaian leader.

The memorial park wants lawmakers to protect Founder's Day from future political changes. Officials asked the government and Constitutional Review Committee to write the holiday into permanent law. This would stop politicians from changing history later. They believe Nkrumah's legacy must stay pure for future generations. The park invited people worldwide to visit their Accra location to learn about the independence leader's life and work.
