A Presidential Library and Legacy Centre dedicated to preserving the leadership legacy and public service record of President John Dramani Mahama is set to be launched in Tamale on November 30, 2026.
The proposed John Dramani Mahama Presidential Library and Legacy Centre (JDM-PLLC) is being spearheaded by the AfCFTA Young Entrepreneurs Federation (AfYEF) and is intended to serve as an independent, non-partisan educational, historical and cultural institution.
The centre will preserve President Mahama’s leadership legacy, ideas and contributions to public service, alongside those of other notable Ghanaian and African leaders.
It will also provide a platform for students, researchers and future generations to study governance, democracy and national development, regardless of political affiliation or changes in government.
Proposed facilities
The project is expected to feature a Presidential Library and Archives, a Historical Research and Knowledge Centre, a Leadership and Civic Education Centre, conference and public dialogue facilities, as well as a Museum and Cultural Heritage Centre highlighting the history of northern Ghana.
Other proposed facilities include a Digital and Virtual Learning Centre and a Youth Skills and Enterprise Development Centre, which will provide mentorship and entrepreneurship support.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, AfYEF Founder and Continental President, Hissan Siita Sofo, said the project would be implemented in phases.
