Dr Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's First President. Prof Delle said the greatest legacy Ghanaians could give to the memory= of

the Founder of the nation on the 39th anniversary of his death was to emula= te

Dr Nkrumah's great sense of commitment to duty and patriotism as a

Ghanaian and an African which was demonstrated through his service to

mankind. He noted: 93Dr Kwame Nkrumah was certainly a great gift to Africa and= we

must all take inspiration from him." On the way forward for the CPP, the former Chairman and Leader who is
