Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has cut the sod for the construction of a modern sports complex in Gambaga, in the North East region.
The project will provide modern sports facilities for the youth in Gambaga and its environs, as well as serve as a social centre for the entire community.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony, Dr Bawumia said the Gambaga Sports Complex, when completed, would help the youth showcase their talents in sports and offer teams around a decent playing ground.
Some months ago, Dr. Bawumia commissioned a sports complex, named Naa Sheriga Sports Complex, which he built in Nelerigu.
The contractor of the project, Wembley Sports, has promised to complete the project, which is being funded by Ghana Gas, in five months.
Facilities will include 1000-seater stands, a VIP area, washrooms for teams and spectators, changing rooms and office complexes, among others.
The Akufo-Addo government has built over 150 astro turfs across the country, since assuming office in 2017, a clear departure from the situation it inherited, as Ghana had only two public astro turfs in Ghana before 2017.
The Gambaga Sports Complex will be the second astro turf and sports complex by the government in the North East Region after a similar one was constructed in Walewale 4 years ago.
