This year’s lecture in honour of late President John Evans Atta Mills is scheduled for Monday, July 25.

It will be delivered by Former Malawi President Joyce Hilda Banda. Professor Atta Mills died on July 24, 2012, while head of state of Ghana.

This year’s lecture will be the fourth in his commemoration. The lecture to be themed ‘Atta Mills: the Servant Leader’ will take place at the main auditorium of the University of Cape Coast.
