Ghana’s Sports Minister nominee, Kofi Adams, has pledged to live up to expectations if approved for the role, assuring Ghanaians of his commitment to transforming the sector.
Appearing before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Thursday, 30 January, the Buem MP acknowledged his lack of a direct background in sports but expressed confidence in his ability to make a meaningful impact.
“I am honoured by this nomination, and I know many Ghanaians are pleased. I will not disappoint the people, President John Dramani Mahama, or myself,” Adams stated during his vetting.
A key area of focus, he noted, would be the maintenance of Ghana’s sporting facilities. He assured that no infrastructure would be neglected to the point of disrepair, stressing the importance of a proactive approach to facility management.
“We cannot allow our facilities to deteriorate to the extent that we face bans from using them. Strengthening our maintenance culture will be a priority to keep them in top condition,” he affirmed.
With his vetting now complete, Adams awaits the committee’s approval to officially take up the role as Minister for Sports and Recreation under President Mahama’s administration.
