Check out why KSM wants the name of Kotoka International Airport to be changed
The naming of an airport after Lieutenant-General Emmanuel Kwasi Kotoka, according to legendary Ghanaian showbiz personality Kwaku Sintim-Misa, is disgraceful.
Kotoka, who was born on September 26, 1926, was a member of the National Liberation Council, which took power in a military coup on February 24, 1966. This was the overthrow of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the republic’s first president.
The current airport, Kotoka International Airport, was built in 1946 as a military airport for the British Royal Air Force during World War II.
After a successful military withdrawal, the facility was handed over to civilian authorities. In 1956, a development project was launched to reconfigure the structure into a terminal building in response to globalization and the growing demand for air travel at the time.
The project’s completion paved the way for Ghana Airways to use the airport as its home base in 1958.
The airport was originally designed and commissioned to accommodate a maximum of 500,000 passengers per year. Accra International Airport was renamed Kotoka International Airport in 1969 in honor of the late Lieutenant General E.K. Kotoka.
KSM expressed his desire for the name to be changed in a tweet on January 1, 2023.
“At the risk of angering many, my wish is to see the name of Kotoka removed from the airport. It’s a disgrace to our history. Happy new year,” KSM as he is affectionately called tweeted.
