Hello Alert Bouterse,
The official language in Ghana is English [1], so here are some books in
English:

You may buy a copy of each, read, and see if it is suitable as a
textbook. I just mapped a couple of buildings in the town of Tarkwa, a
centre of gold mining and manganese mining, in Ghana. There is an
excellent satellite imagery for this town and many good buildings are
not mapped yet. So students can also do a valuable work of mapping as a
practical part of a course.
