The Aliu Mahama Foundation has been established on the beliefs and principles of the late former Vice President. It focuses on skills development and poverty alleviation and has over the years supported over 10,000 Ghanaians through initiatives such as Zongo Lafia, My Health Behind Bars, Entrepreneurial Skills Development, among others.

Farouk Aliu Mahama, son of the late Aliu Mahama and NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Yendi, in a brief statement, expressed the desire of the Foundation to make a positive impact in the country through various social interventions.

Delivering the keynote address, Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Ofoase Ayirebi, spoke extensively on the theme ‘From Dagbon to the world, the example of Alhaji Aliu Mahama’.

As part of activities to mark the anniversary, a photo exhibition was held at the Dagbon State Senior High School to highlight visual experiences of the late Alhaji Mahama during his time in office.

Other activities that took place to mark the week-long celebration included the launch of ‘Zongo Laafia’, a health and wellness programme which was graced by Samira Bawumia, wife of the Vice President.

It was followed by a courtesy call on the overlord of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Abukari II at the Gbewaa Palace, the launch of McDan Skill Development Center, a donation to the Nyani Witch camp as well as soccer games in that order.

Alhaji Aliu Mahama died on November 16, 2012.

He was not only Ghana’s first Muslim Vice-President but also the first and only Dagomba to have risen to that political height.
