GTA Distances Itself From Changes In Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park Signage Greetings

The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has distanced itself from the replacement of greetings in specific dialects on the refurbished Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park signage.

In a statement, the CEO denied knowledge about the development, adding that the inscriptions remain preserved and respected as part of Ghana’s diverse cultural heritage.

“We wish to categorically state that at no point has the Ghana Tourism Authority ordered or approved the replacement of the culturally significant greetings ‘Woezor’ (in Ewe) and ‘Akwaba’ (in Akan) with ‘Oobakɛ’.”

“The GTA cannot replace or change the name on signage at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park without consultation or approval from the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and also in consultation with the Agency in question.”

“The GTA wishes to put in the public domain that we do not know anything about it, and we did not order or approve the change of the inscriptions on the signage.”
