The Ghana Olympic Committee president, Mr. Ben Nunoo Mensah has revealed that 1,000 National athletes will benefit from the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) package as they are waiting for the Ministry of Finance Package.
Speaking to Dr. Kweku Ofosu Asare on the ‘INQUEST’ programme on GTV Sports+, he said,
“Sports men and women were very much affected during the lockdown and up till now.
Sports Media should be responsible in promoting the sports brand than indulging in negative news”, he advised
He further opined, “No positive sponsor will associate with a negative brand. So the media must turn their ways and work better. No one checks what uninformed young reporters say on the radio.”
He commended Hon. Isaac Asiamah and Hon. Perry Okudzeto for coming up with a package for the sporting youth.
Also he said that there ismuch dependance on football and maintained that other disciplines needed attention.
He further mentioned, “Postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games may be unfortunate but could turn up to be a blessing for some nations that prepare late like Ghana.
We can use the next 10 or 12 months to invest in our elite athletes who are medal hopefuls like our boxers, athletes and weight lifters.”
