Professor John Evans Atta Mills’ name and legacy will never be wiped from the history of Ghana, Minister of Education Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyeman has said.
Ghana is marking the fourth year since the death of President Mills in 2012. A John Evans Atta Mills Presidential Library has been constructed at the Chapel Square in Cape Coast in the Central Region in honour of the late president.
Speaking during the inauguration of the library on Monday July 25, Mrs Opoku-Agyeman said the library would ensure the rich history about the late former president is not erased.
“Professor John Evans Atta Mills will never go away,” she emphasised.
The presidential library has a 1,000-seater conference facility, a museum that houses documents, and artefacts that talk about the life of the late professor as well as offices.
The library will also serve as an international research centre for governance and law.
Professor Atta Mills was the first Ghanaian president to have died in office on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at the 37 Military Hospital. He was the president of Ghana from 2009-2012.
