Prior to the groundbreaking ceremony, Wednesday, April 10, 2024, Ja Rule and his wife, Aisha Atkins, paid homage to Ghana's first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, visiting his the newly remodelled Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Accra. They expressed admiration for Nkrumah's vision and dedication to Ghana's independence struggle. 

Additionally, the couple visited Krobo Odumase, where they engaged with community leaders and further solidified their commitment to supporting local initiatives.

The Hiphop star's initiative to construct a classroom block at Nuaso Anglican Primary School highlights the importance of collaborations between Africa and its diaspora. It also demonstrates the power of a celebrity using his influence to promote productive initiatives, fostering education and development. Through partnerships with organisations like Pencils of Promise, Ja Rule hopes to inspire positive change and create lasting opportunities for students in Ghana.
