Daughter of former Ghanaian President Dr. Hilla Limann and wife to musician Reggie Rockstone, Dr. Zilla Limann, expresses dismay over the lack of recognition for her late father's contributions to the nation's development.

She revealed that there was a deliberate effort by the Provisional Defence Council (PNDC) government during the coup d’état era to erase Dr. Hilla Limann’s accomplishments from Ghana's history. This included the burning of documents containing his achievements.

Dr. Zilla Limann pointed out that due to these actions, her father, Dr. Hilla Limann, does not receive adequate recognition in the country as a former president. The information about him in history books is limited due to the deliberate erasure of his feats.

“When the coup d'etat happened and the after-effects of the coup d'etat, one of the things that the PNDC government did was to consciously erase a lot of things about Dr. Hilla Limann. They erased, so literally, from the bizarre burning of GBC to whatever.

"They erased everything or almost everything. So you know that you'll notice that when we go back into history, it is very hard to find things on Dr. Hilla Limann. If you go back to what we studied in school, it was always just glossed over,” she said during an interview with 3FM monitored by GhanaWeb.

She added that a foundation she founded has taken up the task of ensuring that Dr. Hilla Limann's accomplishments as a former president are known to the public and that he is acknowledged in history books as well.

“Now that the foundation has been formed and we are putting things together, that's one of the things we want to do to create more awareness. To get people to know about him [Dr. Hilla Limann], about what he did, the impact he had, how he contributed to the building of our motherland today, and what he probably could have done if his rule hadn't been prematurely terminated.”
