BACKGROUND

A group known as the Black Starline Corporative Credit Union (BSLCCU) was founded in 2009 by the Rastafarian Council of the Ghana Principles of Pan Africanism. It is the vision of the said group to build a center for the first of its kind in Africa and for that matter, a Marcus Garvey Pan- Africa Centre.

The centre will be designed specifically to accommodate a library, Conference and Sports facility which will be the headquarters of the Association in Ghana.

The award being first of its kind coincides with the birthday celebration of Rt. Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey primarily aims at raising funds for the development of the Marcus Garvey Pan-African Centre which would be sited on 200 acres of land at Gomoa Bodiata, Winneba-Cape Cost road.

The question we are all asking is when will Ghana support Apostle Safo for his works. He has been receiving awards both from length and breadth of the nation and yet, no government seems to care.
