According to the President, through the inspired vision of JB Danquah, Ghanaians were able to reject the original decision of the colonial government of establishing a single university in Ibadan in Nigeria for British West Africa in getting to agree to establish a separate university for Ghana. He went on to clarify that, although the President has suggested JB Danquah be given credit for Legon, he did not say he was going to name the school after him. Does he intend to encourage the renaming of the University of Ghana, so as to call it JB Danquah University of Ghana? The President hasn’t said he is going to rename the University of Ghana as JB Danquah University of Ghana.
