Unique Star Foods, manufactures of Vega Foods, in its quest to support sports in the country has presented GH ¢25,000 to the Ghana Olympic Committee(GOC)
The gesture, according to Unique Star was to cushion the GOC in its preparation for the forthcoming Olympic Games slated for China in August
.
The country director of Unique Star, Dipti Mohanti, pointed out that “We at Unique Star believe Ghanaians are good in sports and their enthusiasm and skills can win big laurels.”

The President of GOC, Mr. B.T. Baba thanked the donors for the gesture and gave the assurance of its prudent use. He said: “I am sure the donation will go a long way to motivate the contingent”

Mr. Baba urged Ghanaians to keep faith in the Ghanaian contingent saying, “I know many have lost hope in the contingent because soccer failed to make it. That notwithstanding, I want you to keep faith with the contingent who are poised to act as worthy ambassadors.”

He cited Surinam for sending an athlete to the Games whose Gold medal some years back, made a huge difference on the medal table for his country.
