The government is set to commission the Koforidua Multi-purpose Youth Resource Centre and five others in various parts of the country.
On Tuesday, October 17, the Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif toured the Koforidua Multi-purpose Youth Resource Centre ahead of the scheduled commissioning of six such centres.
Speaking during the tour, The Minister for Youth and Sports said it is proof of the government’s commitment to developing sports in the country.
"The unprecedented policies and projects by President Akufo-Addo towards sports and youth development demonstrate that the President indeed cares for the youth," Hon. Ussif affirmed.
The Sports Minister today was accompanied by the Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Mr. Pius Enam Hadzide, the Board Chairman of the NYA, Hon Afrifa Mensah and the Chief Director of the Ministry, Mr. William Kartey.
In 2018, the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo cut the sod to initiate the remarkable project for the construction of ten Multi-purpose Youth Resource Centers, each designated for the then regions.
Progress on the ambitious projects were momentarily stalled by the unforeseen outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, determination and commitment paved the way for a strategic review that enabled the government to ensure the completion of six out of the ten centres in 2023, with plans far advanced to commission the remaining four by 2024.
Each facility comprises a FIFA-standard football pitch, a nine-lane athletic track, tennis, basketball, handball, and volleyball courts, a modern gymnasium, a counselling centre, an information technology hub, an entrepreneurship centre and a contemporary restaurant. These facilities are designed to empower the nation's youth by fostering physical and intellectual growth.
They are a testament to Government's dedication to fostering youth talent and providing world-class sporting facilities accessible to all.
After the inspection of the facility, Hon Mustapha Ussif expressed his utmost satisfaction of the pace of work being done and underscored the substantial progress in sports infrastructure development under President Akufo-Addo's administration.
