The day will be exactly a year since the former Statesman passed on.
"The Memorial Mass will be held at the Holy Spirit Cathedral, Adabraka, and is open to the public. It is expected to draw people from all walks of life from government officials, traditional leaders, political leaders, MPs, diplomats, cadres, and many more admirers and sympathisers," a statement by the family said.

"All those who wish to attend are urged to arrive at the Cathedral early and should note that due to Covid-19 requirements, social distancing seating will be in effect.
