Bayer Leverkusen joins Ghana to celebrate Nkrumah Memorial Day

German Bundesliga side, Bayer Leverkusen, joined Ghanaians to mark Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day on Saturday, September 21.

The day was set aside in 2009 by the late President Mills to mark the life and achievements of Ghana’s first President.

Even though the celebrations have nothing to do with Germany, Bayer Leverkusen, put out a tweet wishing Ghana well on the day and expressing gratitude for the many positive responses from Ghanaians who were touched by the gesture.

Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day is a statutory national holiday in Ghana and thus, for this year, it means that Monday, September 23 will be the holiday for Ghanaians since 21st September is a Saturday.
