MEMBERS of the maritime industry yesterday paid a courtesy call on the former First Lady, Mrs Ernestina Naadu Mills to commiserate with her on the loss of her husband, President John Evans Atta Mills.
The delegation made up of executives of the Ghana Shippers Council, the Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders (GIFF), as well as officials of the Ghana Ports and Habours Authourity (GPHA) and led by the Director General of the GPHA, Mr Richard Anamoo, had prior to the visit signed the book of condolence opened in memory of the late President at the Banquet Hall of the State House.
The delegation interacted with the widow, Mrs Mills and other members of her family.
Wearing an all black attire with a gloomy face, a visibly shaken Mrs Mills had a brief interaction with the delegation and thanked them for the support.
Mr Anamoo, who described late President Mills as a strong performer said the maritime industry would remember his strong performance values.
According to him, the construction of a landing site at the fishing harbour and the replacement of the wooden wharf at the harbour were projects that were dear to his heart and subsequently pushed officials to work harder in that regard in fulfilment of the pledge.
“The GPHA have began work on the facility and we were in the process of inviting him to cut sod for the project when the unfortunate incident occurred on Tuesday, July 24”, Mr Anamoo said.
He further said GPHA would ensure the project becomes a reality to serve as a legacy in his memory.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Shippers Authourity (GSA), Dr Kofi Mbiah, also in his tribute challenged Ghanaians to maintain the national unity that the late President’s death has brought across board.
Also at the residence to pay their respect were members of the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC), led by its chairman, Professor Emeritus, Albert Fiadjoe and the Executive Secretary, Dr Raymond Atuguba.
