Lawyer and historian, Yaw Anokye Frimpong, has refuted assertions that the founder of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC), the late Dr. Joseph Boakye Danquah, widely known as Dr. J.B. Danquah, was the one who propounded the name 'Ghana' to replace its previous name, Gold Coast, after the country's independence. Speaking in an interview on JoyNews, on August 5, 2024, Anokye Frimpong pointed out that the name Ghana existed long before the country gained independence from the British in 1957.
