first president of the country, job creation would have been widespread and unemployment
nonexistent ".

The administration of Nkrumah, the country engaged in a mbadive plantation of palm trees in the
state farms, which has led Ghana to have the privilege of teaching Malaysia the
palm planting techniques and giving this country seedlings to start
