The WestAfrican National Secretariat WANS was a Pan Africanist movement founded by Kwame Nkrumah , based in Britain. Nkrumah founded WANS in December 1945, immediately following the Manchester Pan African Congress , becoming the new organisation s Secretary General. Other founder members included Isaac Theophilus Akunna Wallace Johnson I. T. A. Wallace Johnson who was elected as Chairman , Bankole Akpata , Kojo Botsio and Bankole Awooner Renner the first President . Many of its initial members were also members of the WestAfrican Students Union WASU . WANS aimed to build a united movement throughout West Africa for independence, on a platform of anti imperialism . Its view of West Africa was broad, and aimed to include countries as distant as Kenya and Sudan . A major congress was planned, but never came to fruition. Within WANS, Nkrumah organised a secret socialist revolutionary group, known as The Circle . This group worked closely with the Communist Party of Great Britain . During 1946, WANS published five issues of a monthly journal, The New African , containing articles in English, French and Belgian, on WestAfrican issues, but also incorporating stories from the Moscow New Times . In September, it held a joint conference with WASU, which Nkrumah convinced L opold S dar Senghor and Sourou Migan Apithy to attend. WANS was considerably weakened after Nkrumah returned to Africa in 1947, and appears to have dissolved the following year.
