Ghana
Accra, Sept. 24, Ghanadot/GNA - The Former President of
Mauritius, Mr Karl Auguste Offmann has arrived in the
country to undertake a five-day Residency at the University
of Ghana, Legon, under the African Presidential Archives and
Research Centre (APARC).
The APARC programme, which is coordinated by Boston
University, of which the University of Ghana is an affiliate
institution, seeks to promote intercontinental dialogue and
to demonstrate to current African leaders the contributions
they can make as statesmen after leaving office.
A statement Mrs Stella A. Amoa, Acting Director, Public
Affairs Directorate, University of Ghana signed said the
Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Cliffor N.B Tagoe, would receive Mr
Offmann and lead him on a tour of the University.
It said Mr Offmann would also pay a courtesy call on the
Vice President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama as well as former
President Jerry John Rawlings, who was his
colleague-participant of the APARC programme.
The statement said Mr Offmann would lead informal sessions
at the University on the topics: "Challenges of leadership
in Africa," and "The future of Africa's Development:
Anticipating the Challenges".
He will also deliver a special public lecture on "The
Outlook for Africa: Possibilities of Social and Economic
Development for our Time and Future Generations," at the
Great Hall on September 26.
The University last year received the former President of
Botswana, Sir Quett Masire as for the same programme.
