President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo this morning commiserated with the family of the late Opare Hammond, Managing Director of PMMC and former Member of Parliament for Adentan in the Greater Accra Region, who died on January 11 after short illness.
The Chief of Staff, Ministers of State and Members of Parliament, (MPs’) were present.
Mr. Opare Hammond became the first Member of Parliament for Adentan Constituency in 2004 after the constituency was separated from the Ashaiman Constituency.
He was the Director of Administration of the NPP between 2010 and 2014 and was appointed the M.D.OF PMMC in 2017.
Under his reign, the PMMC and the Ghana Royal Gold Limited Company entered into partnership to construct a state-owned gold refinery which is expected to create 1000 jobs in 2019.
In an exhortation, the Vice Chancellor of Regent University, Prof Charles Wireku, admonished the gathering to live a life worthy of emulation.
He was survived by a wife and five children.
