All African Games: I salute your efforts - Nigeria's former Sports Minister praises Ghana's 'swift' preparation, organisation of event

Nigeria's former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Chief Sunday Dare, has extended his appreciation to Ghana for its successful hosting of the African Games 2023.

In a statement, Chief Dare commended Ghana's President, Nana Akufo-Addo, and Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mustapha Ussif, for their commitment to sports development and the meticulous organisation of the event.

Chief Dare praised the leadership displayed by President Akufo-Addo and Minister Mustapha Ussif, acknowledging their dedication and vision in ensuring that Ghana was fully prepared to host the prestigious African Games.

"I salute the efforts of the Minister and his team. I have been to the venues and I think this is commendable. I was the chairman of the African Region 2 last year when we decided to ensure Ghana was given the 8 months it required to prepare," Chief Dare remarked.

He further expressed satisfaction with Ghana's ability to organise such a grand event within the stipulated time frame stating, "I am happy that in eight months, Ghana has been able to pull this together. It is a thing of pride for Africa.

“54 countries are gathered here, 29 sports, and 7 different venues for the Games," added Chief Dare.”
