Former Heart of Oak defender Dan Quaye has heaped praise on the club’s Board Chairman, Togbe Afede XIV for the infrastructural development at the club.
The management of the Accra-based giants signed a contract with Turkish construction firm, Prefabex for the construction of the Pobiman Academy project last year.
Work on the project has been in full swing over the last few months with the club hopeful of its completion within the projected time frame.
The Ultra Modern Training Complex, when completed, will be housed with Staff Residence, Senior Housing Unit, GYM, Training Centers (Pitches), Laundry, Swimming Pool, Lockers, Toilet Facilities, Kitchen and Dining Hall.
“Our father Togbe Afede is doing a great job and he needs to be commended because he is developing the club and checking on the projects he is doing. It is so amazing and we are praying that he will live long and get wisdom like King Solomon to convince other people who can also help the Hearts of Oak.
He has done a great job and it has not happened in Ghana before. If it has happened I might mention Ashantigold but in terms of traditional clubs, it hasn not happened before. I think the other big team can learn from them” Quaye said in an interview with Ghanasportspage.com
The former Ghana defender also urged Premier League rivals Asante Kotoko to emulate the good work done by the Phobians.
“Using Kotoko as a reference point, he said, as a starter, you have to follow the one who is already running. It is a good sign that Kotoko should follow because the name of these two teams is in the world more than the3 other clubs in Ghana but both are not having their stadia”
“They witnessed some when they moved to Sudan for preseason, all the clubs have their stadia. You have to mount your clubhouse, stadium, training pitches, abroad they have their equipment not for the state”
“You won’t spend a lot if you have your facility, I feel it will help the other clubs if they follow though some are doing it” he concluded.
