General News of Sunday, 28 May 2023Source: www.ghanaweb.comA historian, Amankwah Ampofo, has given what is considered one of the most unheard-of definitions of what the word, Accra, means. In his submission, during an interview with Fiifi Banson on Fiifi Banson TV, Amankwah Ampofo explained that the word is actually an abbreviation. “Accra; A-C-C-R-A is an English word. What it is, is that in 1877, when the capital was being moved to Accra, there were a lot of people in the city from other African countries. That was in 1877, when the Portuguese felt that the people were giving them a tough time in Accra,” he explained.
