President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to construct six modern sports stadia in Ghana's newly created regions as part of efforts to expand access to quality sporting infrastructure.
Speaking during his "Thank You Tour" in the Western North Region, the former president revealed that the Ministry of Sports and Recreation has already begun work on the designs and planning for the projects. "Under the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, modern sports stadia will be built in the six newly created regions, as well as in other regions that currently lack such infrastructure," Mahama told residents and local chiefs during the engagement.
The project is aimed at ensuring fair distribution of sporting infrastructure, particularly in underserved areas.
It is expected to boost youth development and unearth talent across the country.
