The World Bank Regional Vice Pres­ident for the Africa Region, Mr Ous­mane Diagana, as part of his six-day duty tour to Ghana, last Monday visited the renovated Kwame Nk­rumah Memorial Park and Mauso­leum (KNMPM) in Accra.

Mr Diagana is visiting the country from January 6-12, 2025 to attend the inauguration of the President John Dramani Mahama.

The objective of the visit was to acquaint himself with the opera­tions of the renovated KNMPM where the mortal remains of Ghana's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, and his wife, Fathia Nk­rumah, are laid and also learn the history of Ghana's independence and Nkrumah's role therein.

World Bank recently provided $3.5 million for the renovation of the Park, which was part of the $40 million, the Bank provided to Ghana under the Ghana Tourism Development Project.
