President Nana Akufo-Addo has urged the Minister of Youth and Sports, as well as the Ministry and Local Organizing Committee (LOC), to ensure that the upcoming Africa Games are the best in history.
The President made this charge while speaking at the inauguration of the Borteman Sports Complex, which will play a key role in the 13th Africa Games.
Scheduled to take place from March 8 to March 23, the Africa Games will utilize the Borteman Complex and the University of Ghana Stadium as central venues for the competition.
President Akufo-Addo officially opened the multi-purpose facility in the presence of Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif and Vice President Dr. Mahumudu Bawumia.
“I urge the Minister, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the staff of the Ministry, and the LOC to put in their best efforts to organize the greatest African Games in history.
“To achieve this, the government is fully committed to ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all visitors to the country during the Africa Games,” said the President.
This year’s Africa Games are particularly important as they will serve as a qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics in eight different sports disciplines.
