Barring any last minute hitches, the Tamale Sports Stadium in the Northern region will be named after the late Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama next month.

The president announced at the Flagstaff House Monday that he will confer with the Sports minister and issue an executive instrument effecting the change by November 16, which marks the 6th anniversary of the demise of the late Vice President.

The family of the late Mahama visited the President to inform him of the impending 6th anniversary of the death of their kinsman.

The late vice president to former President John Kufuor was known for his avowed commitment and campaign against social indiscipline.

He died at the Korle Bu Teaching hospital on November 16, 2012, after serving two terms as veep under Kufuor.

5th Anniversary Activities

According to the spokesperson of the delegation that called on the President, Gabby Asare Octere Darko, the 5th Anniversary of the late Vice President’s passing will begin with a photo and art exhibition on the 16th of November at the Accra International Conference Centre. On the 26th of November there will be a cleanup exercise in Tamale and subsequently, hold a programme at the same Tamale Sport Stadium. The anniversary will be climaxed with a memorial lecture to be delivered by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta on the theme: “Transforming Ghana Beyond Aid.” The late Vice President died on the 16th of November 2012.
