“For this end Africa needs a new type of citizen, a dedicated, modest, honest and informed man. A man who submerges self in service to the nation and mankind. A man who abhors greed and detests vanity. A new type of man whose humility is his strength and whose integrity is his greatness.”
Kwame Nkrumah, Africa Must Unite, 1963, Chapter 14, “Building Socialism in Ghana,” p. 130
