Statement: Redevelopment Of Asomdwee Park – CODA

The Coastal Development Authority, acting upon a directive from the President, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, prioritised the renovation of the burial grounds of the late Professor Atta Mills, former president of the Republic.
The Authority liaised with relevant state institutions in charge of state monuments before embarking on the renovation works.
For the avoidance of doubt, the scope of works funded by CODA includes the following:
Redesign and construction of ICT lab, library, cafeteria and artifact buildings (completed)
Construction of a concrete shed and replacement of alucobond panels over tomb of the Late President, (completed)
Construction of fence wall and two restrooms for security staff (completed)
Construction of entrance for General Public & VIPs (completed)
Paving of 50-metre walkway to and around the tomb with porcelain tiles (completed)
Asphalting of driveway to general entrance (ongoing)
Landscaping of general area around the tomb (ongoing).
We wish to state that the grave was not opened and therefore no desecration of the body of the former President, H.E John Evans Atta Mills, has taken place.
We therefore assure all well-meaning Ghanaians that the project, which continues to be a top priority for CODA, is well on schedule and will be handed over to the Office of the President for official commissioning, once completed.
Thank you.
