On Wednesday, 27th December, 2023, President Akufo-Addo commissioned the Koforidua Sports Stadium with ancillary facilities also referred to as the Koforidua Youth Resource Centre.
The Koforidua Sports Stadium is the first of ten stadia with auxiliary facilities being constructed across the country.
They are envisioned as safe spaces for youth congregation and recreation, offering a diverse array of services, including state-of-the-art sports infrastructure, counseling centres, entrepreneurship hubs, and additional amenities that cater to the multifaceted opportunities presented to our youth.
This is not merely a structure; it represents a commitment to creating an environment where our youth can thrive, develop essential skills, and contribute meaningfully to our national development agenda.
It is a facility that proves the commitment of the ruling New Patriotic Party to retaining talents, and raising them to compete on an international level.
“I am glad to state that, in the coming days, the following identical projects will also be commissioned and handed over for use in:
a) Wa in the Upper West Region
b) Ho in the Volta Region
c) Axim in the Western Region
d) Dormaa in the Bono Region
e) Dunkwa-on-Offin in the Central Region”.
I have been informed about the challenges facing the remaining four stadia with auxiliary facilities – Kaneshie in the Greater Accra Region, Navrongo in the Upper East Region, Yendi in the Northern Region, and Nyinahini in the Ashanti Region. I have prioritised the completion of these facilities, and I am, therefore, requesting the Ministry of Finance and the District Assembly Common Fund, to allocate the necessary funds to the National Youth Authority, in accordance with Act 939, to ensure the timely completion of these legacy projects.
