The New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative to revolutionize grassroots sports development in Ghana.
The Ghana School Sports Secretariat, a flagship program outlined in the NPP Manifesto, aims to harness the potential of young athletes and promote sports education at the school level.
This innovative program will be implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Sports, the Ghana Education Service, and various sports federations.
By providing dedicated funding and resources, the Secretariat will ensure the sustainable development of school sports, bridging the gap in sports infrastructure and talent identification.
“My government will also seek school-level collaboration with international sports bodies like the NBA and NFL to make Ghana a hub for these emerging sports in Africa, to create more opportunities for young people.”
“We have already tried this with the NFL, the governing body for American Football League.”
