Early achimota – ghana institute of management and public administration, 1970

Late in 1966 Mr A.L. Adu, who had been secretary of the Ghanaian Cabinet in President Kwame Nkrumah's time and was currently Deputy Secretary-General of the Commonwealth Secretariat in London, came to think that Henley ideas might be of use to his countrymen in Ghana. It was believed in Henley that it was his interest that led to the proposal that the Government in Accra invite Mr Martin-Bates, as Principal of Henley, to come to Ghana and discuss the establishment there of a Staff College bearing some similarity to the Administrative Staff College at Henley.
