Kwame Nkrumah – Ghana
Kwame Nkrumah was the first president of Ghana which gained its independence in 1957. He became the first president in Sub-Saharan Africa. He was later overthrown in February 1966 and lived in Guinea where he was offered the role of ceremonial president by Ahmed Sekou Toure. Nkrumah was a pupil teacher after completing secondary school. Nkrumah went on to obtain a Teacher’s Certificate from Prince of Wales College at Achimota in 1930 and was posted to a Catholic school in Elmina in 1931. In 1932, he was made the headmaster of a school in Axim where he started a literary society called the Nzima Literary Society. Despite entering into politics, Nkrumah never forgot his teaching instincts and helped set up the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana to encourage academic research in Africa, by Africans from Africa.
