“For me, I can only show my appreciation to the President for bringing the Asomdwe Park back to life in honour of the late President and helping restore the pride and dignity of the former President.
“I will continue to ensure that the legacy of the former President, through the Atta Mills Institute which has finally been birth, lives on for those who aspire to enter into politics to do it in a more decent way,” he added.
Government, through the Chief Executive Officer (CEO of the Coastal Development Authority (CoDA) ), Jerry Ahmed Shaib, announced President Akufo-Addo’s pledge to renovate the Asomdwe Park, the resting place of Prof. Mills, near the Independence Square at Osu, Accra, into an ultra-modern facility befitting the status of the former President.
