Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif has admitted to facing “challenges with regards to payments” necessary for completing the Youth Resource Centres under construction.
Out of the 10 planned projects, only the Koforidua Multi-purpose Centre has been commissioned.
Some centres are close to completion, while work has stalled at other venues.
“I admit we've had challenges with regards to payments but because the contractors haven't handed over the facilities, we can't use them,” Ussif said at a press briefing.
“We're actively working to pay the monies for the certificates raised so they can return to work, Azumah Nelson, Navrongo, and Nhyinahin.
“I want to assure you that all the contractors will be duly paid and will soon return to work. Work will soon start on Navrongo, Yendi and Accra phase 2.”
The project for the ten multi-purpose Youth Resouce Centres across all parts of the country, began in 2018 under then Sports Minister, Isaac Asiamah.
They were part of the government's efforts to address the sports infrastructure deficit in the country.
