We look forward to working closely with you for sports development …NSA staff tells Kofi Adams
The Staff of the National Sports Authority (NSA) says they are ready to work closely with Mr Kofi Iddie Adams, Minister for Sports and Recreation.
The staff, in a statement, congratulated Mr Adams for a successful vetting process following his appointment by President John Dramani Mahama.
โYour leadership comes at a crucial time when the image and leadership of the NSA is at its lowest ebb in the eyes of the general public, and we are confident that your vision and commitment will bring remarkable progress to the NSA in particular and the sports sector in general.
As key stakeholders in the administration and development of sports, we look forward to working closely with you to advance policies and initiatives that will uplift sports and recreation in our nation.
We trust that under your stewardship, the NSA, which is the technical wing of the Ministry and thus clothed with the responsibility and mandate to implement sports policies and programmes of the Ministry, will enjoy empowerment through impartial resource allocation, capacity building, human and infrastructure capacity development, as well as constant engagement and consultations regarding sports and all related matters,โ the statement said.
The NSA staff also assured the Sports and Recreation Minister of their full support and commitment as they strive to achieve sports excellence. โGNA
