Youth and Sports Minister, Hon. Isaac Asiamah has said his sector will soon implement the sod cutting exercise to commence the construction of modern sports complexes in all regions of the country.
The exercise to precede the construction of the 10 modern facilities in all the regions of the country will begin next week.
“Next week, we, in collaboration with the Zongo Ministry will begin sod cutting exercises to commence the construction of modern sports complexes in all the ten regions in the country,” he said.
When asked about the timelines of the projects, Hon. Asiamah indicated that the projects are expected to be completed within nine months and made available to Ghanaians by the end of this year.
He added that the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex is an exceptional case; hence it will take more time than the regional facilities.
Addressing the public at his first Meet the Press session, the Sports Minister said the move was collaboration between his ministry and the Ministry of Inner Cities and Zongo Development to put the facilities up.
