Hilla Limann

Hilla Limann, GCMG (12 December 1934 – 23 January 1998)[1] was a Ghanaian diplomat and politician who served as the eight president of Ghana from 1979 to 1981.

He assumed the position of head of Europe, Americas, and Southeast Asia Desk back in Ghana at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in June 1975.

After the handover ceremony in 1979, Military intelligence personnel consistently reported destabilising activities of former members of the AFRC.

This decision eventually cost him the presidency and the years of humiliation and alienation he suffered at the hands of the Rawlings administration.

He was buried at private burial ceremony in his home town, Gwollu in the Sisala District of the Upper West Region at midnight on 1 March 1998.

A government delegation led by the then Minister of Defence, Alhaji Mahama Iddrisu were present to mourn with the family.
