President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Saturday afternoon paid a visit to the house of the late Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Commission (PMMC), Dr. Kojo Opare-Hammond.
Mr. Opare-Hammond died at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital on Friday after a short illness.
He was a former Director of Finance and Administration of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The president’s visit was to express his sympathy to the family.
President Akufo-Addo urged the family to stay strong for each other in the light of the unfortunate development.
The late Opare-Hammond is survived by a widow and five children.
Dr. Opare-Hammond who was a former Member of Parliament for the Adentan constituency’s death came as a shock to many because he appeared physically fit.
During his time at PMMC, the firm partnered the Ghana Royal Gold Limited Company to construct a state-owned gold refinery which is expected to create 1000 jobs this year.
May his soul rest in peace.
