Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Minister of Communication and Digitalisation, has been chastised for naming a library and tech hub after her mother.
The Christiana Akua Brago Diawuo Library and Tech Hub was opened on March 30 in Akim Oda, Eastern Region.

The facility was built at the Minister’s request, but with funding from the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), Huawei Ghana, MTN Ghana, and the Ghana Library Authority (GhLA).
This has incensed some Ghanaians, who think the facility appears to be part of state-capture by officials of the incumbent government.
”Recounting my past and acknowledging the contributions of my mother, Christina Akua Brago Diawuo, which has propelled me to my current state, I can only be thankful,” the Communications Minister wrote on Facebook.
”Thank you, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for joining me to inaugurate ‘The Christina Akua Brago Diawuo Library and Technology hub’ at Akim Oda, an honour to my mother.”
