\n Accra, May 16, GNA- Former late President\u202fProfessor John Evans Atta Mills, has been described as a beacon of hope for the people he encountered, particularly\u202fthe\u202fyouth he dealt with and\u202frelated with during his leadership roles as a statesman.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Addressing the press on Monday in Accra to announce the series of events to mark the year-long 10th anniversary of the late President, Dr Alex Segbefia, Board\u202fChairman of the John Evan Atta Mills Memorial\u202fHeritage (JEAMMH) called for the\u202finculcation\u202fof the ideals and values of Prof. Mills into the upcoming youth where they could sacrifice, have a vision, and have patriotism as their cornerstone for succession.<\/div>\n
“Our programmes as we go along will be conveyed regarding what we want to do with scholarships, what we want to do with youth programmes, etc that are yet to come. For now, let’s take time to celebrate and mourn him, and once we have done that, you will learn further what it is we have for the youth of Ghana but we don’t want it to be seen as a partisan issue,” he said.<\/div>\n
Dr Segbefia said to celebrate the national icon, regional lectures have been scheduled throughout the country under the theme: \u201cTen years on The Man John Evans Atta Mills\u201d, however, the local organising committee for each cluster of regions were free to choose a sub-theme for its lecture which would be consistent with the national theme and would fall within the broad national framework.<\/div>\n
According to the Board Chairman of JEAMMH, the 16 regions of Ghana have been clustered into five groups for purposes of regional commemorative lectures namely the Northern Cluster, Central and Western Cluster, South-East Cluster, Middle Belt Cluster and Ashanti and Eastern Cluster.<\/div>\n
\u201cWhile the Northern cluster comprises the five regions in Northern Ghana namely, Northern, Savannah, Upper West, Upper East, and North-East regions, the Central and Western comprises the Western and Central Regions with the South-East Cluster comprising the Volta and Oti Regions.<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Middle Belt Cluster, which has the Bono, Bono East, Ahafo and Western North Region lecture will be held in November at Sunyani and the Ashanti clusters being Ashanti and Eastern will end the 10th-anniversary activities and will be held in Kumasi in December,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
Dr Segbefia said the highlight of the tenth-anniversary commemorative lecture would be delivered in Accra on Tuesday, July 26 2022 at 1500 hours adding that, “that lecture will also double as the Greater Accra Regional Commemorative Lecture.”<\/div>\n
He noted that the Northern Cluster, which had its local organising committee being chaired by Naa Andani, Former Executive Director of Stanbic Bank, and member of the Advisory Council of the JEAMMH would have its lecture on May 28, 2022, at the University of Development Studies, Tamale Multipurpose Hall at 1500 hours.<\/div>\n
He said five thematic speakers would deliver the lecture on topics Taxation, Gender and Inclusion, Youth in Leadership, Networking and Social Capital in the 21st Century, Public Service and Human and Social Development.<\/div>\n
\u201cIt is however important to mention that at the Tamale Lecture, \u201cThe Great Launch\u201d, which is the title of the proceeding of the launch of the John Evan Atta Mills Memorial Heritage\u201d held on 1st\u202fFebruary 2022, which has been published into a book will be launched and put up for sale to the public,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
Mr Segbefia said JEAMMH would commemorate July 24th, 2022, the exact day on which former President Mills died with a memorial service at the Asomdwee Park in Accra in the afternoon.\u202f<\/div>\n
He told the press wreaths would be laid on the late Prof Mills’ grave at the Asomdwee park at 13:40 hours, “the exact time that the doctors pronounced\u202fhim dead at the 37 Military Hospital,” he said.\u202f<\/div>\n
The JEAMMH was birthed and duly incorporated on October 14, 2021, after its incorporation, it was launched on February 2022.<\/div>\n
It is chaired by Togbe Afede XIV, Agbobomefia\u202fof the Asogli State of the Volta Region, Vice chaired by Dr Esther Ofei Aboagye, former Director of the Institute of Local Government Studies and 15 advisory council members.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
