The late business mogul Miguel Atu Mould’s family has completed and handed over a legacy dormitory project to his alma mater, Adisadel College, in Cape Coast, Ghana. The GH¢5 million block comprises six dormitories with perfect rooms, 150 beds with lockers, washrooms in every dormitory accommodating six students per toilet facility, and ironing space. It also has a borehole with overhead tanks and a visitors’ lounge with a television.
The project funding came from selling several luxury vehicles that Atu Mould had left behind, including a Lamborghini Urus, Lamborghini Huracan, Ariel Atom, GT Shelby, Nissan GTR, and a Harley Davidson motorbike. These vehicles, which were his beloved possessions, were liquidated to fulfill Atu’s dream project at his former school, Adisadel College, based on the suggestion of his mother, Sati Ocran, after his death in November 2020.
At the handing-over ceremony, Atu’s brother, Lee Ocran Tandoh, emotionally acknowledged the proceeds from the sale of the vehicles had been the primary source of funding for the project. He expressed that the sentimental value of the cars was priceless, given Atu’s deep attachment to his “toys” and his love for cars. Lee Ocran also noted that the family believed Atu’s spirit had guided them throughout the construction process, as they constantly asked themselves how Atu would have wanted it, given his high standards of excellence in everything he did.
The family handed over the dormitory, named the Atu Mould House, to the management of Adisadel College on what would have been Atu Mould’s 51st birthday. Lee Ocran hoped the project would touch many lives and inspire others to follow Atu’s example. He also appealed for the proper maintenance of the facility as a sign of gratitude to the school for its role in Atu’s life.
The headmaster of Adisadel College, Samuel Kofi Agudogo, thanked the Mould family for the dormitory, stating that it would help ease congestion in the school and motivate both staff and students to work harder towards achieving the college’s vision and mission.
Sir Sam Jonah, a mining executive and old student of Adisadel College who chaired the function, commended the family for the project, seeing it as a reflection of the Adisadel spirit that would inspire others, especially students, to aspire to similar acts of generosity. The 1989 year group and the school’s management assured they would adequately maintain the facility.
