Nkroful

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nkroful is a village in Ghana, located near Axim in the Western Region. It stands inland 5 km (3 miles) from the coastal highway, from the Essiama village junction turnoff.

Nkroful is famous as the birthplace of Kwame Nkrumah, the founder and first president of independent Ghana. Nkrumah was born there on September 21, 1909, was raised there, and was also buried there after his death in 1972 — temporarily, it turned out, because his body was later moved to a grander mausoleum in Accra. Nkroful still has the original Nkrumah Mausoleum and monument, which continues to attract visitors. Even as the country celebrates its 50th Anniversary, plans are being made to bring a new lift to the city.

The local language spoken in Nkroful is Nzema but Fante and English are also spoken.
