We were housed in three different locations, on and around campus. There were mixed reviews…
Jangles Guesthouse Annex Cape Coast. Horrible. Isolated. Not a good start #globalghana

Did you know the first radio broadcast in Ghana happened on 31 July, 1935? Victoria Ellen Smith tells us about the relay 🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana
These were the guys that made that first relay broadcast happen. 🇬🇭#GlobalGhana pic.twitter.
The first broadcast was initiated by the Governor and was part of commonwealth strategy to “celebrate British culture”. 🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana
In 1958, tables turned when Ghana set up a commission into “an external service for Radio Ghana”. 🇬🇭 #GlobalGhana pic.twitter.
