A senior lecturer at the University of Ghana, Professor Ransford Gyampoh is of the view that equating formal dressing to only suits typifies a colonial mentality as Ghanaians.
For him, “No nation anywhere in the world develops without its own culture, and culture is simply a way a group of people live, including how they dress.”
In a Facebook post on Tuesday afternoon, February 2, 2021, Prof. Gyampoh said “I am looking forward to a leader who would help us institutionalize our own way of dressing.”
