President John Dramani Mahama has been honoured with an orchid hybrid named after him at the National Orchid Garden in Singapore.
The ceremony, held during his visit to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, saw the unveiling of Vanda John Dramani Mahama, which now joins the prestigious “VIP Orchids” collection.
The National Orchid Garden maintains a longstanding tradition of naming unique orchid hybrids after visiting heads of state, government leaders, and other distinguished guests.
During the visit, President Mahama signed the visitors’ book and received a briefing on the history of the garden as part of his tour.
Beyond their beauty, the orchids are symbolic of Singapore’s journey of growth, resilience, and transformation.
President Mahama is in Singapore on a three-day official State visit, during which he attended the 8th Africa-Singapore Business Forum.
