The CEO of Ghana National Petroleum Committee(GNPC), Dr. KK Sarpong has pledged his unflinching support to Ghana Sports through the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) for sportsmen and women to benefit from the rich natural resources of the country.
Dr. Sarpong who took over from Mr. Alex Mould as the Chief Executive Officer of GNPC, was the former CEO of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) .
Dr. KK Sarpong was appointed as the Executive Chairman of Asante Kotoko FC in 2010, but resigned in 2013.
At Kotoko, Dr. Sarpong enabled the club to rediscover their championship feat, winning the league title on a back to back basis.
Speaking in an exclusive meeting with the President of the GOC ,Ben Nunoo Mensah, the Chief Executive Officer of GNPC called for equal distribution of resources to the various sporting disciplines to ensure they thrive in their activities.
The former hockey player also noted that sports facilities must be dotted around the country and not only in the regional capitals.
According to Dr. Sarpong, the influx of people from the rural areas to the urban centres will be reduced when facilities are placed in the villages.
Ben Nunoo Mensah thanked the GNPC boss and promised to maintain cordial relations with the petroleum company as a major partner for sports development in Ghana.
