He stated that as a matter of urgency the government must come to the aid of the Polytechnic and assist in the provision of the needed infrastructure for the games, “I must admit that the sporting infrastructure on our campus must be upgraded as a matter of urgency to ensure successful hosting of the games come August next year,” he disclosed.
WAPOGA is one of the most prestigious sporting events which draw sporting talents from all the Polytechnics in the West Africa sub-region together .WAPOGA games was last hosted by Houphouet Boigny Polytechnic in Yamoussoukro in Ivory Coast.
“All participants and spectators who were at Yamoussoukro would attest to the fact that the success of the games was mainly due to the impressive sporting infrastructure the Ivorian Polytechnic had.
