ABSTRACT
The work takes a critical look at the life and times of Dr. Hilla Limann, President of the Third Republic of Ghana. The thesis offers readers an insight into the life, struggle, works, successes and the failures of Hilla Limann. The work endeavours to examine the life of Hilla Limann and his meteoric rise to power in 1979. Through his own persuasion, determination and hard work, Limann pursued the educational ladder outside Ghana and became a well-educated man. The study discovered that Limann was not a novice in politics and social leadership. In theory he had undergone rigorous academic discipline. Between 1965 and 1978, he worked with Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs where he played various high profile roles at the Foreign Missions. The studies also try to establish whether Limann had any CPP credentials before he was elected as the PNP Presidential candidate in 1979. It discovered that he was not a member of the Nkrumahist tradition and that it was the maneuverings of Alhaji Imoru Egala that brought Limann to the PNP. This research has relied mostly on primary information obtained mainly through extensive interviews with Limann’s family, former classmates and political associates and opponents of his time. Published works, articles in magazines and journals, party and government documents, newspaper report and secondary accounts relating to his life and political activities were used to corroborate the information obtained.
