President Nana Akufo-Addo unveiled the Ghana@60 logo on Thursday, but many have already begun raising questions with the logo.

Just when we thought that the issue of plagiarism or otherwise in the Nana Addo-led government may have been buried, a similar one seems to be taking shape.

This follows the unveiling of the Ghana at 60 logo at the Flagstaff House on Thursday by the president, Nana Akufo-Addo.

Below is the logo:

Nana Addo explained that the Ghana@60 logo symbolized “the diversity and unity of our country and the aspirations of the Ghanaian people for a dignified and prosperous future.”

Check out the logo used in an article on this blog in 2015 and on Pinterest.

And the Indian National Youth Foundation seems to have a similar logo:

Many have since begun asking questions as to whether this should also be described as a case of plagiarism or not.

Remember, this is not the first time the president is being accused of plagiarism.

He was said to have plagiarised his inaugural speech which apparently had some paragraphs copied from speeches of former presidents of the United States of America.
