Mr Mahama Ayariga, Minister of Information and Media Relations, on Wednesday described late President John Evans Atta Mills as an exceptional man, whose virtues of integrity and sincerity would forever be remembered.

He said the late President would also be remembered for his staunch desire to make Ghana a better place for Ghanaians to live.

Mr Ayariga made this known during the daily media briefing at the Flagstaff House, Kanda.

The day’s briefing which was dedicated to the life and performance of late President Mills before his demise also dwelled on President Mahama’s recent visit to Congo, Brazzaville.

He said government would continue to immortalise the late President by holding a number of programmes to mark the first anniversary of his death.

Mr Ayariga said government would continue his vision of improving the lives of Ghanaians by initiating projects that would enhance the socio-economic development of the country.

On President Mahama’s visit to Congo, Mr Ayariga said apart from meeting Denis Sassou Nguesso, his host, the Head of State also attended the Forbes Afrique Investment Forum.
