Mr. Alex Segbefia, Chairman of the J.E.A.

The J.E.A. Mills Memorial Heritage is a non-profit, non-partisan organization established in 2022. It aims to preserve and build on the legacies of the late President John Evans Atta Mills. The organization was founded by academics, professional colleagues, students, family, and appointees of President Mills.

President J.E.A. Mills served from January 08, 2009, until his death on July 24, 2012. Mr. Segbefia emphasized that President Mills’ ideals and virtues remain relevant, particularly in national unity and cohesion, servant leadership, and combatting corruption. Since the launch of the J.E.A. Mills Memorial Heritage, the organization has organized several activities, including annual commemorative lectures and the publication of five books on Prof. J.E.A. Mills.

“The activities organized by the Memorial Heritage have been successful, and we are grateful to Ghanaians for their strong support of the annual memorial lectures, regional lectures, hockey tournaments, and for purchasing the five publications on Prof. Mills,” Mr. Segbefia said.
