Mawuena Adzo Dumor Trebarh, a former CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), will be laid to rest today.
The family said the burial service will take place at the Holy Spirit Cathedral at Adabraka in Accra at 7 am. The attire for this service is black.
The thanksgiving service for Mrs Trebarh who passed away on April 10, is also scheduled to come off at the same Cathedral at 9:30 am on June 30. The attire for this event is black and white.
Ahead of the funeral, friends and sympathisers trooped to sign a book of condolence at the residence of Prof. Ernest Dumor, Mrs Mawuena Trebarh’s father.
The pioneering first female CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) passed away tragically one day before her birthday.
In a heartwarming display of solidarity and empathy, mourners continue to share tributes to offer solace and support to Prof Dumor, an esteemed academic, following her untimely passing.
Her loss comes just a decade after her brother, Komla Dumor of the BBC, passed away—a sorrow that Prof Dumor and the family are still grappling with.
In a poignant interview, Prof Ernest Dumor revealed that he continues to mourn his late wife and son, even several years after their passing.
Since the news of Mawuena's passing, there has been an outpouring of sympathetic messages aimed at consoling Prof Dumor.
