Immediate past Minister of Youth and Sports, Mahama Ayariga has revealed that the Ministry of Youth and Sports has massive organizational challenges which need time to be fixed.
The Bawku MP who succeeded Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah after the Black Stars disappointing performance in Brazil spent eight months at the ministry before being reshuffled by President John Dramani Mahama.
Speaking in an interview on Ultimate 106.9 in Kumasi, Ayariga gave his thoughts on his time at the infamous ministry.
“I don’t regret being at the Ministry of Youth and Sports but I must admit that it is a ministry that has a lot of organizational challenges. So it needs time and consistency to tackle those challenges.”
Honourable Mahama Ayariga is the seventeenth Sports Minister to have been at the Ministry, including stop-gap Ministers, with Dr. Mustapha Ahmed, his successor being the eighteenth.
