Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Akwasi Agyeman appreciated the efforts of all bodies and individuals that took the initiative to make the refurbishment of the park possible.
He indicated that the Nationalism Park is a monument of Ghana’s history from the days of the execution of three ex-service men to independence and democracy. “Today we honor our heroes Nii Kwabena Bonnie, Sergent Adjetey, Corporal Attipoe and Private Odartey Lamptey and this place has been restructured and linked to the 28th February Memorial Park; it is a place where we can all come together as Ghanaians go reflect on our past and look forward to a brighter future full of opportunities.”
