    8 years of NDC destruction cannot be salvaged in 6 months. It took more than 7 years to clean up Rawlings mess; so let's stop complaining.

    we must not build a single new stadium in this country unless we can prove our competence in managing what already exists. A cursory look at the broken seats suggests they are of the poorest quality. someone duped the countr ...

    When are we going to understand what maintenance is. Are the authorities expecting buildings to mend themselves or what?. Monies are collected during events, so what stops the authorities to make provision for maintenance. We ...

    It costs a lot to maintain a stadium. Look at Brazil and the white elephant stadia since World Cup.

    If only the problem was workers not knowing how to maintain a stadium it would be an easy issue.

  • ST. GHFUO, BLACK EXCELLENCE! 7 years ago

    ITS ACTUALLY MUCH CHEAPER TO CONSTANTLY MAINTAIN SUCH PROJECTS THAN WAITING FOR IT TO TOTALLY DETERIORATE.BRASIL INVESTED IN A STADIUM. THEY HAVE USED IT FOR WCUP AND OLYMPICS. THEY HAVE PROLLY ALREADY MADE THEIR MONEY FROM T ...

    LORDINA, OPUNI, AWUAH DARKO, NII LANTEY, AFRIYIE ANKRAH - THEY CAN FINANCE THE RENOVATION OF THE STADIUM FROM THE STATE MONEY THEY LOOTED

  • Afful 7 years ago

    Then stop the talking. Arrest Lordina and force her to renovate the stadium .

  • ST. GHFUO, BLACK EXCELLENCE! 7 years ago

    THAN WAITING FOR EVERYTHING TO DETERIORATE AND THEN SPENDING HUGE SUMS OF MONEY TO FIX EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH.

  • FOYOOSIS 7 years ago

    And there we have the arrogant Nyantakyi claiming to be an overlord of the FA who had achieved under his management what his predecessors have not achieved.

    How can you expect fans to troop this stadium to watch the Black ...

    By the way I am curious to know if there is somebody called a stadium manager on this facility? If there is then the person should be forced to refund all payments to him and also get him sacked immediately period

  • Palogo 7 years ago

    With all these problems you pay silly money to Avram Grant.

  • Odikro 7 years ago

    This sounds familiar. I would have been very surprised if this structure was protected and maintained like many other countries do. This is the Ghana we have; a Ghana in which politicians think only about the next 10% cut and ...
