Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has reaffirmed government’s commitment to enhancing recreational infrastructure as part of a broader strategy to promote national wellness.
Addressing the media, Mr. Adams emphasised that improving recreational facilities is a key priority for President John Mahama’s administration. He noted that the recent renaming of the Ministry to “Sports and Recreation” reflects a renewed focus on both sectors.
“His Excellency the President did not rename the Ministry to Sports and Recreation for nothing,” Adams stated. “He did so because he wants us to pay particular attention to issues of recreation. It will help bring about wellness, which means better working hours and fewer expenses on health bills. Non-communicable diseases will drastically reduce.”
Adams, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Buem, is currently in Morocco to support the Black Queens at the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
He described the trip as not only a show of solidarity but also an opportunity to learn and explore best practices that could be adopted to develop Ghana’s recreational landscape.
