Before Ghana attained independence in 1957, Dr , Ghana's First President, who spearheaded the efforts, travelled across the country, rallying support for self-governance.
A report by ghanaeducation.org noted, "The CPP employed various strategies to advance its cause, including mass protests, strikes, and boycotts, to pressure the British colonial authorities to grant independence.
Nkrumah himself emerged as a symbol of resistance, tirelessly crisscrossing the country, rallying support, and galvanising the people behind the struggle for liberation." To support these efforts and ensure his safety amid rising political tensions, Dr Nkrumah commissioned the construction of some guest houses: one on the Karimenga Hills in the West Mamprusi Municipality, and the other on the edge of the Nakpanduri Scarp in the Bunkpurugu/Nakpanduri District.
These locations were carefully selected to provide both security and solitude.
