Yaw Anokye Frimpong, a historian and lawyer, has given insights into why infrastructure of the University of Ghana were modelled with Japanese architectural adaptations.

According to him, the choice of architecture was informed by the university's proximity to the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

The style of architecture for the notable tertiary institution came up while he was speaking to the claim by NPP stalwarts Prof Aaron Mike Oquaye and the late Prof Adu Boahen that Joseph Boakye Danquah built the University of Ghana.

Addressing what he termed as a distortion in history on Onua TV's "Maakye," on March 10, 2025, he recounted events that led to the establishment of the University of Ghana.
