What took Ghana this long to have a Dr of Maths. Education at High schools started back in the 1800s. Hmm Ghanaians generally poor at Maths.

Food question-The impact is very little. We still live in poverty corruption filth poor mindset bad roads lack of amenities you name it. Alloteys achievement is good but good for himself not Ghana pe se.

Well , he had a lot of impact not just in Ghana but across the globe.
Prof Allotey was a role model to an innumerable number of Ghanaians inspiring and directing them on what to do in their professional careers. Many of these people are great scientists ,engineers and doctors contributing immensely to the development of humanity.
He also personally was instrumental in the establishment and functioning of the Ghana atomic energy and I guess a lot of people are not aware of the great role the atomic energy plays in our day to day lives and in our hospitals.

Prof Allotey was also the first to establish Computer Science Department within Faculty of Science at KNUST in the 1970s when I was there. I knew him to be a very simple man without arrogance. I am told once a white participant at a Conference abroad, who did not know Prof was an African, tried to challenge him saying according to Allotey Formalism it should be this and that but they were shocked when Prof retorted "I am Allotey!"

Allotey set up the computer Science programm in Tech when computer science was just past its formative years as a degree programe in some universities in the developed world.You don't blame our scientist for our problems. It is the industry and government that does not take the research seriously. Google did not even the software it use in developing Google. But it is what the owners as enterepenurs made out of it.

KWAME NKRUMAH INTL AIRPORT: Adom Otchere makes a valid point but you see 2 wrongs don't make a right..if kotoka and the nlc took bribes from Cia to overthrow Nkrumah..is that also good? No..Ibrahim traore of Burkina didn't take bribes to stage a coup..jj rawlings didn't take bribes to stage a coup either. For all his faults, Nkrumah deserves to have his name on the airport because he orchestrated Ghana's freedom and independence. Nkrumah is the Gather of Ghana and African liberation. Look at the induateies Nkrumah vreated and built? What did Nlc do for job creation? Nkrumah made history for Ghana. Nkrumah laid the foundation for Ghanaian identity and laid the economic, administrative, manufacturing and infrastructure foundation for Ghana. The British didn't do anything for Ghana. It was Nkrumah who laid the groundwork and for his hardwork how can you gaunt him.for wanting to stay in power and finish what he started? Before Nkrumah was brought back to Ghana by Paa Grant..All these Ghanaian.aristocracy were dragging their feet to liberate and seek independence for Ghana..therefore, why shouldn't we name our major airport after him? I think Kwame Nkrumah International Airport is the BEST. Ghana is a very silly, confused nation. Just look around you.

Akyeam occult mafioso uglier than ugly shorter than short and with a slimy okro dick whose uncle jb danqua spied for cia took the enriched uranium the brilliance of Prof produced and gave it away. That ugly guy should be shot. He is so ugly there's thunder everywhere he goes even if sun shining. He is so ugly he makes he makes kasoa ninja hawa koomson look pretty. He is so ugly, ugly is going to sue him at the supreme court. He's so ugly when bawumia asked the IGP to jail the cedi, the cedi run away from jail when he heard he is coming to visit.

Ghana is surrounded by French speaking countries,our school pupils speaking French in addition to English after basic school class six will be worthwhile and make them more connected to the world in this day and age,besides the vernacular teaching will present insurmountable challenges to GES for little gain.

He was taught in the English Language from primary to universiety.Yet, in today's Ghana, our useless politicians keep going on about Twi and all the crap that goes with it. I am yet to hear from them the correct word for applied physics, nuero-biology or magnetic resonance imagery in Twi, Ga or Ewe.

This is a useless article. Focusing on spectacle rather than substance. Even if he was the 1st human to get a PhD in whatever, how has his studies truly transformed lives? ibni sinna (Avi Cenna), Newton & others helped changed the world. African scholars just gather papers similar to madmen in the African village markets. All of Africa's scientists are collectors of certificates. Zero tangible outputs.
