As part of a fulfilment of his campaign promise, the President of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) have urged Ghanaian sports journalists to promote National Federations by publicising their activities.
He said one of the ways to make Ghanaians aware of existing disciplines and attracting the corporate bodies is by promoting them in the various media platforms.
This was made known after the GOC released a list of media persons who have been attached to the various National Federations to assist in their publicity.
