On the issue of infrastructure, Kofi Adams shared that President Mahama had reviewed his promise to build six mini stadia in six new regions in the country by increasing the stadia count to 10.

“His Excellency the President [John Mahama], during his campaign, promised to build six mini stadia for the six new regions.”

“I dare tell you that his Excellency has since reviewed that decision and he’s no more going to build the six mini stadiums. He’s going to build 10”.
