Rumors are circulating that Mohammed Alhassan, a renowned sports journalist turned businessman, might be considered for the position of Youth and Sports Minister in a potential new administration under former President John Dramani Mahama. Sources close to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) suggest that Alhassan is the frontrunner for this key ministerial role, thanks to his dynamic approach and extensive experience in sports journalism.
Alhassan's impressive career spans sports journalism, public relations, and business. He covered major international sporting events, worked as a PRO for Inter Allies FC, and even played a crucial role in investigating the Kumasi Stadium disaster during the Mills administration ¹. His experience in political communication is also notable, having served as the spokesperson for former Kumasi Mayor Kojo Bonsu during his bid for the NDC flagbearer position in 2020.
As a successful entrepreneur, Alhassan has managed multiple businesses, including a media company, a travel agency, and a supply and construction firm. His passion for sports development and youth empowerment has been a hallmark of his career, earning him recognition as a pragmatic leader with a serious and goal-oriented approach.
While the NDC has yet to make an official announcement, many believe Alhassan's appointment could be a game-changer for Ghanaian sports and youth development. His track record of excellence, positive leadership, and passion makes him a compelling choice for the role of Youth and Sports Minister.
