SONA 2024: Proud University of Ghana Stadium has been finished under my stewardship- Prez Akufo-Addo

President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, is profoundly glad the University of Ghana Stadium project has been completed under his watch.

He stated this in his speech delivered during his State of the Nation Address as the aforementioned edifice is set to host the 13^th African Games.

The upcoming games run from March 8 to March 23 with the renovated University of Ghana Stadium and the newly built Borteman Sports Complex to host majority of the events.

Speaking on the floor of Ghana’s Parliament, President Akufo-Addo said he is glad the project that commenced under former Ghana President John Agyekum Kufour was finally complete.

“It is worth noting that this is a facility started under former President J.A. Kufuor, and was abandoned by successor governments. I am exceedingly proud that this project has been finished under my
stewardship, not just because of the games, but also because it has taken seventy-five (75) years of existence for Legon, Ghana’s Premier University, to have a sports stadium.”

Ghanaian sprinter Joseph Paul Amoah has confirmed his participation in the African Games.
