Ghana Athletics President, Bawa Fusieni, has pledged his commitment to securing financial support for Evans Cadman, the African Games high jump gold medallist, who is facing expulsion from the Central University of Missouri, USA, due to $15,000 in unpaid tuition fees.
Cadman’s scholarship was recently revoked by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), putting his education and athletic career at risk.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on Monday, 4 November 2024, Fusieni affirmed that his office would do all it can to support the athlete.
“We’ve heard about the situation through media reports, though we haven’t received an official request from the athlete. Nevertheless, we are working hard to find ways to assist him,” he said.
“Everything comes down to eligibility… we are in discussions with stakeholders to see how best we can help him complete his education. Let’s stay hopeful; we’re doing all we can to provide support,” Fusieni added.
Acknowledging the urgency of Cadman’s case, with an approaching deadline, Fusieni urged patience as efforts to secure funding unfold.
“I can’t provide a specific deadline because we’re still reaching out to potential supporters, but I’m hopeful we can gather the funds within this month to avoid the looming 15th deadline next month,” he stated.
