The President of the Republic of Ghana Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commissioned the refurbished Asomdwe Park, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the death of the late Professor John Evans Atta-Mills the third President of the Fourth Republic of Ghana.
In his speech at the ceremony, President Akufo-Addo noted that the commissioning of an infrastructural project by government should naturally be a joyous occasion, and should elicit the display of pomp and pageantry in recognition of the feat achieved.
“But today’s event is not one of those normal occasions. Exactly ten years ago, a truly tragic incident occurred, one we had never witnessed, and hope will never reoccur in our history, certainly not in our lifetime – the death of a sitting President in office, the death of the 3rd President of the 4th Republic, Prof. John Evans Atta-Mills.
President Akufo-Addo said, he was a contemporary of the late President at the University of Ghana, as members of the same Legon Hall, and both played in the University football team.
