Former President John Dramani Mahama has received a delegation from the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) led by the Chairman, Ms. Kathleen Addy, in Accra as part of a series of engagements with some prominent Ghanaian personalities.
It is also against the backdrop of Ms. Addy assuming the leadership of the commission following the departure of the previous head who is now working with ECOWAS in Liberia.
Former President Mahama rendered a warm reception to the NCCE delegation and congratulated Ms. Addy on her appointment. He entreated her to lead with integrity and to revive and nurture civic consciousness among Ghanaians. The former President gave the assurance that his doors are always open to the commission to support effective civic education in the country.
Former President Mahama used the opportunity to raise some issues of national concern, and urged the NCCE to consider some of these issues in their engagements in a bid to promote nation building and national cohesion.
Ms. Addy expressed delight about the warm reception accorded her by the former President and welcomed his suggestion to strengthen the work of the NCCE. She said the NCCE will continue to actively engage and empower citizens, including political actors to promote a civic conscious society.
Present at the meeting were senior staffers at the office of the former President as well as Commission Members and Directors of NCCE.
