The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has joined the family of the late Professor Jason Atta Kwei Arday, the Ghanaian community in the UK, and other dignitaries for a memorial service in Southwark, UK.<\/p>\n

In a post, Mr. Ablakwa described the service as deeply moving and unforgettable, held in honour of the late professor\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n

According to him, in keeping with the government\u2019s pledge, he joined the family, Ghana\u2019s High Commissioner to London, British MPs, Ministers, the Mayor of London, Cambridge scholars, Prof. Arday\u2019s students and loved ones to pay respects and honour his inspiring legacy.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ablakwa noted that Prof. Arday\u2019s accomplishments as the youngest Black professor appointed at the University of Cambridge and his widely appreciated charitable contributions will continue to inspire generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government and People of Ghana will continue to stand by our compatriots everywhere they are in the world. As we do so, we profess our commitment to justice, equality and the creation of a new world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He prayed for fortitude for the family in what he described as an extraordinarily difficult time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall always remember Prof. Arday for his response when asked what he will wish to do to change the world: \u2018I would take a thread and a needle, and I\u2019d interweave love into our society\u2019,\u201d Mr. Ablakwa added.<\/p>\n
