Lawyer and historian, Yaw Anokye Frimpong, has narrated events that led to the evolution of a university that used to be an appendage of University of London, into what has come to be known as the University of Ghana.
According to him, the rhetoric by NPP stalwarts, Prof Aaron Mike Oquaye, and the late Prof Adu Boahen that Joseph Boakye Danquah built the University of Ghana is erroneous.
He stated emphatically, while speaking on Onua TV's "Maakye" on March 10, 2025, that the highly patronised tertiary institution was built under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah.
In an attempt to correct the widely propagated fact bothering on who established the University of Ghana, he clarified that claims that JB Danquah built University of Ghana are false. "In the past, there was no university called University of Ghana.
