Mustapha Ussif for being the first Sports Minister in many years to visit the training camp of the national boxing team, BLACK BOMBERS who are preparing for a major international sports tournament.
He said the Minister has shown good faith and goodwill to support the youth and budding sports talents of Ghana who are going to represent at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Japan.
He urged Hon. Ussif who is already the father of the sportsmen and women to also be a friend of the federations to know their problems and concerns.
Mr Nunoo Mensah who is an executive member of ANOCA urged the sports fraternity to chart a new path with the new leadership in a positive way forward to win laurels for mother Ghana.
“Let’s start a new model that all disciplines will copy to achieve results for Ghana Sports,” he said.
