“It is not my intention and style to paint a gloomy picture of the state of affairs at the sports ministry, when we took over, but I find it very necessary to expose only the tip of the iceberg for Ghanaians to appreciate where we are coming from and where we are to going,” he stated.

“I assure the staff in particular and Ghanaians that, I was not appointed as a minister to come and lament over the state of affairs but rather to fix the challenges I inherited.

“Together as a team, we embarked on a journey of recovery. A journey many skeptics thought was a mission impossible.

“Within 13 months of my administration in office these actions have been taken; rehabilitation of the Accra Sports Stadium has started as we all know, the reconstruction of the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex into a modern youth and sports center of excellence.”
