An Open Letter to the President & Minister of Sports: The Aftermath of the 13th African Games-Divine Nkrumah writes

From an economic perspective, sports should not be viewed solely as a recreational activity but as a tool for poverty alleviation and economic development.

It’s crucial that we recognize the significance of sports management and development in driving economic growth.

To ensure maximum utilization and benefit for all, I propose that we establish a national sports development agenda and create an annual Sports Festival.

Some of us possess exceptional talents in extracurricular activities such as sports, dancing, and cultural activities.

Lastly, I feel obligated to remind you, based on the sentiments expressed by fellow Ghanaians, that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is not the only sports federation in our country, and the Black Stars are not the sole national team.

When tackling the issue of unemployment in our country, leaders must recognize that the development of sports can create job opportunities for our youth

In conclusion, it’s imperative that we recognize the multifaceted benefits of sports and invest accordingly in its development
