The President in his address before the tour, called on Ghanaians to take full advantage and also tour the Museum and learn from the many historical details that will form part of the facility .

The President was hopeful that the Museum when completed, will offer job opportunities for the youth at  Osu and its environs.

Meanwhile, the remains of former president John Evans Atta Mills is buried at the frontal of the castle.
