On Nkrumah's other SFC: The State Fishing Corporation. Kwame Nkrumah’s government created the State Fishing Corporation (SFC, different from the State Farms Corporation!) in the early 1960s as part of his “Seven-Year Development Plan” push to make Ghana self-sufficient in food…

Debunking the old claim of the “£400 million left behind”. This figure is usually invoked to suggest that Kwame Nkrumah “wasted” inherited wealth at independence. This was clearly untrue: historians and Ghana’s own financial records don’t actually support this narrative. A…

1/ Today, many Ghanaians lament: “We import everything — even toothpicks.” But once upon a time, Ghana had a state-owned conglomerate known as GIHOC (Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation). It was running about 60 factories across the country by 1965 across sectors like: ● Food…
