With the first stone being laid by Kwame Nkrumah on 18 February 1961, the Institute was designed to promote national independence, as almost all Ghanaians in the first Nkrumah government were trained in the United Kingdom or United States. The Institute's Director was Kodwo Addison, a prominent Ghanaian activist.
