Speaking after the unveiling of Nguvu Mining Limited, Board Member of the Club, who doubles as the Member of Parliament for the Nsuem Constituency, George Mireku Duker shared with Citi Sports what spurred them on in securing the deal.
It is an exciting moment, because if you have a team of that stature in your constituency, it tells you that you have a herculean task, because i had to whip them up to ensure that they win the league.
Because of the 10,000 capacity stadium Gold Fields is building for us, we said let’s make good use of the stadium, because we cannot work and have a stadium of that pedigree and without making good use of it.
So we facilitated, we motivated the board to win the league.
Secondly, i said no, we not only going to participate in Africa, we have to make a name at the International level.
Money was a challenge, sometimes you need to run around to get something to support the team to get out there.
Going to Nigeria, was a big challenge, getting to Guinea was equally a hustle.
