Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has told Joy FM he will use money from his recent international award to build a centre at the University of Ghana to promote leadership, governance and development in the sub-region.<\/p>\n

Part of the money will also be used to complete a presidential museum and library on the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology campus.<\/p>\n

Mr Kufuor and former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were last Tuesday named winners of the 2011 World Food Prize. They will receive $250,000.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with Joy FM\u2019s Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, Mr. Kufuor said Africans tend to be gullible and simplistic when it comes to issues of leadership, a phenomenon he said should change if the continent must develop.<\/p>\n

In view of this, the former president said the centre will start off as a think tank where people who have excelled in their fields of endeavour will be invited to interact with other participants.<\/p>\n

He said in September when the project kick starts, a former German president will be invited to cut the sod for the project.<\/p>\n

The full interview of the former president with Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah will be broadcast on the Super Morning Show<\/strong> on Wednesday.<\/em><\/p>\n
