ACCRA MAYOR SOLOMON DARKO VISITS CHICAGO
REP.
DANNY K. DAVIS, MARY MITCHELL HEADLINE CHICAGO: The elite of Chicago’s architectural, engineering, urban planning
and construction community joined with politicians recently to commemorate
the loss of lives and one of the world’s major architectural structures,
at the Organization of Nigerian Building Professionals’ 5th Annual Outreach
Scholarship Fundraiser, an annual celebratory event tempered by the recent
terrorist attack on America. GORDON PREMPEH DIES Former Ghanaian Soccer Star Succumbs To Cancer
Mr. Prempeh started his career with the Kumasi Heroes soccer team and
progressed to Cornerstones after a short stint, but it was during his
tenure with Asante Kotoko that he became a major star. One could hear
his name permeating the airwaves and his pictures dominating the sports
pages during the times he played. Says Albert “Father” Adade, his teammate
at Kotoko, “As a rookie, I played with him he was the team captain. His
disposition was one who would play jokes often yet was serious about his
game. He was a perfectionist who cared about all the players and mentored
several of us.” |

including City Hall, Museum of Contemporary Arts, Merchandise Mart, Whitney
Young High School and various other places. Mayor Darko was here to meet
with Chicago’s Mayor Richard Daley and explore business opportunities
for partnering with Chicago firms and investors in collaborative ventures.

CHICAGO:-
Gordon Prempeh is dead! As unbelievable as that may sound, those are the
words that the Ghanaian community have been dealing with for the past
month. For Mr. Prempeh, an accomplished soccer player who shined during
the 70’s, his death has left a huge gap among those of us who knew him.
