Youth and Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif (Hon.), along with a distinguished entourage, descended upon the Black Stars' training ground on Wednesday.
Their visit comes in the aftermath of a less-than-ideal start to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations campaign for the Black Stars.
The opening game may not have unfolded as planned, but the Minister, flanked by notable figures including Hon. Stephen Asamoah Boateng, Minister for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, and Transport Minister Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, conveyed a message of confidence and unwavering belief in the team's ability to bounce back.
Accompanying the political dignitaries were influential personalities like international businessman Kwame Ofosu Bamfo, also a member of the interim Management Committee of the Black Stars, and Akwasi Agyemang, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority, and a vital member of the Management Committee.
''We are here this evening just to re-assure you that we are with you irrespective of what happened in the first game. I am here with my colleague Ministers, we know that we have three games in the group,'' Hon Mustapha said.
''The first one didn’t go as expected but we still have so much confidence in you. The President has directed that my colleagues in cabinet should come with me. So I am here with my senior colleague Hon. Asamoah Boateng, the Attorney General and the Minister for Transport are all here in Abidjan to support you to victory. So, be rest assured that whole country is solidly behind you,'' he added.
