*President Cuts Sod for👉 Erection of Kofi Annan Statue*

-
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has cut the sod for work to begin on a 20-foot statue to be erected in honour of the late United Nations Secretary-General, Mr Kofi Annan, at the entrance of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, (KAIPTC) at Teshie, in Accra.

The monument, which is scheduled to be completed in six months, will be built with marble and would have a width of six feet and weigh 21 tonnes.

While the statue will be in everlasting memory of the Ghanaian diplomat, it will also, when completed, be expected to attract local and international tourists.

The sod-cutting ceremony was part of the line-up of activities to commemorate the maiden edition of the Kofi Annan Peace and Security Forum in Accra. It was on the theme: "Peace operation in the context of violent extremism in Africa."


The two-day forum was attended by political leaders, diplomats and security experts who dialogued and shared ideas on critically evolving trends on peace and security on the African continent.
