Kwabena was a recipient of the last remaining of Kwame Nkrumah's strong educational policy that every other govt helped destroyed with lack of funds.

His dad was never a member of the NPP government but rather one of the founding fathers who campaigned tirelessly at great risk to himself and his career as an eminent Historian for the restoration of a democratically elected government in Ghana when the Military were in Power.
If you schooled in Gh up to the 1980s you would have used his father's books. An Authority in his own right on Ghana's history.
Please refrain from polluting your mind with such views Please; it doesn't help.

The opposition United Party labeled him a dictator since they could not defeat him in elections.Yes an Atomic Reactor is not a university, but a country needs a very good science university like KNUST to produce science graduates to work at the reactor and also do research work. All of that was planned by the government of Ghana led by the CPP.

We have more of Ghanaians like Mr Boahene in different fields but the question is why don't they help Ghana to move technology and other fields forward? The answer is Ghana lacks the "magnet" to attract these professionals. The entrepreneurial atmosphere is not conducive in Ghana, because of greed, corruption, lack of infrastructure and crime etc. Don't you think people like Mr Boahene would like to help Ghana with their knowledge? But let him come to Ghana today and start doing something...that's where one would understand what I am talking about. Look at Komla Dumor, he started from Ghana, he became big, when Ghana needed him but he did not come to Ghana but rather excelled abroad because the opportunity for him to grow professionally was there, so he kept moving up and up in the UK before death laid his cold hands on him.

"...Ghana lacks the "magnet" to attract these professionals". No! Ghana has the magnet but aligns the magnet in a way that you always get repelled.
Your answer is NDC Politicians and their accomplice no gooders like big mouth Kwesi Pratt will frustrate them every step of the way. If Ghanaians living overseas were given the encouragement to participate fully in shaping Gh ...

That NPP prof adu boahen son....
Trust me if he were to come to Ghana and involve himself in politics, likely his late father party, Fiifi Kwetey, Alotey Jecobs, Felix Kwakye and others will say he doesn't know anything.
Please check your facts, this is not the youngest son of the late Prof. Adu Boahen. The youngest is called Christopher (Galaxy).
prof adu-boahen is the son of the late prof adu-boahen and a proud member of the mfantsipim old boys association 1981 group.
Akyemkwaa a onus Birimu we'll done!
Stop that nonsense, Adu Boahene is from Juaben, Ashanti.
Prof adu-boahene is from Osiem in okyeman mu
Stop the ethnic nonsense.
