"At the end of the summit, the GFA has resolved to restructure all our competitions including the Ghana Premier League with the Premier League Board being properly constituted into a board.
"They wouldn't have to meet daily or weekly but will be meeting periodically, maybe monthly or quarterly," Kwesi Nyantakyi said.
"But we are going to employ experts to fill certain functional positions. We are going to have a General Manager and three directors. One of the directors will be responsible for the media, another for marketing and another for competitions," he added.
Kwesi Nyantakyi explained further that the experts will be employed on full time basis and they will manage the Premier League.
"These will be full time staff whose roles will be to carry out specific duties relating to their function. They will manage the league on daily basis and the FA Cup competition."
