We stand for unity hence our Apology- Badu Nkansah Publications

Badu Nkansah, the publisher of the ‘History of Ghana’ Textbook which has generated uproar amongst Ghanaians has rendered an unqualified apology for the ‘offensive description’ of Ewes in his publication.

The publisher says his company, Badu Nkansah publications stands for unity hence the apology.

According to the company, although the book had satisfied most of the technical content requirements, the National Council for Curriculum Assessment (NaCCA) has informed them to work on certain aspects of the book in order to meet the expectations of the new curriculum.

“Unfortunately, while undergoing the review, a limited quantity of the unpublished draft found its way into the market. We have seen certain snapshots on social media which has generated justified public uproar due to their offensive tone. Though it is not a deliberate attempt to berate such a huge section of our society, we wish to unreservedly apologise for the slip. Our brand stands for national unity, and we currently employ workers who originate from all parts of the country.”

The company further stated that it is investigating how the few copies found their way into the market.

“In the meantime, we have called up all copies in circulation with immediate effect since they have not met the final improvement threshold.

Once again, ours is a brand that values National unity. We apologise to all those affected and we apologise to all Ghanaians that such thing will never happen again,” the statement read.

Speaking to the new development on Ark FM  “Ogya Kas3bo” monitored by Soiree News Bono Regional Correspondent, Nana Ama Asiedu, the Public Relations Officer for Badu Nkansah publications, Mark Osei said the company is working within its power to ensure the issue is resolved to help strengthen the unity it stands for.
