 Cape Coast Mayor Vows to Revive Abandoned Atta Mills Library

The Mayor of Cape Coast, Mr. George Justice Arthur, has pledged his commitment to reviving the long-abandoned Prof. John Evans Atta Mills Presidential Library. He announced plans to collaborate with the Ghana Library Authority and the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly (CCMA) to operationalize the facility.

Commissioned in 2016, the library was intended to serve as a hub for research, education, and tourism. However, it has since fallen into a state of neglect and disrepair.

Speaking to the media, Mr. Arthur expressed his determination to restore the library and reposition it as a valuable national asset. He emphasized the importance of the facility in promoting education and preserving the legacy of the late President Atta Mills.

As part of his broader vision for Cape Coast, the Mayor also addressed the decline in educational standards across the metropolis. “The mention of Cape Coast resonates with quality education,” he noted, underscoring the need to restore the city’s historic reputation as a center of academic excellence.

Mr. Arthur called for a united front in transforming Cape Coast, urging the media, traditional leaders, assembly members, and other stakeholders to work together toward building a thriving, sustainable, and culturally vibrant city.

His vision also includes fostering economic development and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.

Additionally, the Mayor announced plans to partner with the Members of Parliament for Cape Coast North and South—Mr. Kwaku George Ricketts-Hagan and Dr. Kwamena Minta-Nyarku—to offer scholarships and academic support to brilliant but financially disadvantaged students.
