A high powered delegation from the Ghana’s Fastest Human team has called on President Akufo Addo to throw more light on how the program can take the country’s athletics to the next level.

The Ghana’s Fastest Human Sprinting Program was introduced to the President during a courtesy call paid on him by the Organizers. They were accompanied by some of Ghana’s past athletics greats, 1962 & 1970 Commonwealth Gold Medalist Mike Ahey, 1966 Commonwealth games Gold Medalist Oko Addy and 1974 Commonwealth games Bronze medalist Ohene Karikari. Other athletes that went to see the President are the future stars, athletes from the GNPC Speedsters Club in association with Adidas.

President Akufo – Addo was very happy with the PPP exercise exhibited with the program and said he was from the era when Ghana ruled world athletics. He went on to talk about attending school with Oko Addy and later on following his exploits on the international tracks. Mike Ahey, the President said, was a living legend and should be remembered as such while we still have him around. The President went on to pledge his support for the program and said he would announce steps he is taking to help.
