The Minister for Youth and Sports in Ghana, Mustapha Ussif has disclosed that government plans to convert the Borteyman Sports Complex into a University of Sports Development.
He announced this at a press briefing in Accra on Monday, March 4, ahead of the opening ceremony of the 13th African Games in Ghana.
In his engagement with the media, Mustapha Ussif said the plan to convert the Borteyman Sports Complex into a University of Sports Development is to ensure the facilities at the complex are well-maintained.
“To ensure the facilities are well maintained for the continuous benefit of the good people of Ghana, the facilities at Borteyman will be converted into a University of Sports Development after the Games.
