President John Dramani Mahama has challenged the newly appointed Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, to revitalize Ghana’s sports sector and restore the Black Stars to their former glory.
Speaking during the swearing-in of 17 ministers at the Jubilee House on Friday, February 7, President Mahama highlighted the importance of transforming the nation’s sports landscape and urged Adams to inject transparency, professionalism, and structured management into the sector.
He advised the minister to focus on strengthening all sports disciplines, with special attention to reforming the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
“Hon. Kofi Adams I don’t envy your job. You have the monumental task of restoring Ghana to its pride of place in Africa and World sports. The shambles that are Ghana’s sports today are completely unacceptable, for a country with our pedigree. And I expect that you inject transparency, professionalism, and modernity into the management of the sector.
“I expect that you concentrate on building up all the sports disciplines and I know the Ghana Football Association would be a good place to start to work to make sure that we return Black Stars to its glory days.”
The President’s remarks underscore the government’s renewed commitment to fostering growth and excellence in sports as a tool for national pride, development, and international recognition.
Mahama swears in Sam George, Okudzeto Ablakwa, 15 other ministers
