A sod has been cut for the establishment of a Hall of Fame edifice in Ghana to serve as a "learning reference center” and also for tourism purposes.

The Hall of Fame edifice, which is an initiative by organizers of Good Governance Awards Ghana (GGG Awards) is aimed at creating a monument for leaders of the nation and also generating revenue for the country.

The four-floor edifice is to keep monuments of past and current Heads of State and Vice Presidents, Speakers of Parliament, Ministers of State, Judicial officials and traditional rulers who have excelled in the various fields of work.

The first set of personalities to be inducted into the Hall of Fame of the GGG Awards are Ex-Presidents J.A Kufour and JJ Rawlings, former Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood, Chief Imam Sheikh Dr Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu and former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
