In a remarkable display of recognition and appreciation for hard work and dedication, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno has promoted Armwrestling champion Grace Minta to the rank of Chief Inspector.
In a meeting with officers of the Ghana Police Service who actively play sports today, the IGP praised all the officers for their discipline and commitment to sports, but particularly eulogised Grace Minta for her exceptional performances in promoting the image of the Ghana Police Service.
“I have heard your name severally times but have not met you in person. You have made the service proud. You have been promoted to Chief Inspector with immediate effect in recognition of your achievements and sporting prowess,” the IGP reiterated.
The IGP, in conferring this promotion, highlighted Minta’s discipline, resilience, dedication, hard work and excellence as key attributes that have earned her this recognition.
Grace Minta’s journey to becoming a celebrated Armwrestler is nothing short of inspiring. A young lady who was recruited to do athletics was arrested by Armwrestling, and her dedication to the sport has seen her clinching numerous national and international titles, bringing pride and honour to her country, Ghana.
Grace Minta is an undefeated African Champion in the women’s 80kg category and the current world champion at the Master category. She won double gold for Ghana during the last African Games.
Minta’s commitment to her role within the Ghana Police Service has been exemplary, showcasing her as a role model for young officers.
Minta’s promotion is to inspire more officers within the service to strive for excellence in their respective fields, whether in sports, community service, or their professional duties.
This promotion also underscores the Ghana Police Service’s commitment to recognising and rewarding talent and hard work among its personnel.
