Ghana’s Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwesi Amoako Atta (Hon.), on Monday, July 20, 2020, called on GFA President Kurt E.S Okraku at the federation’s headquarters in Accra.
The Minister, basically came around to check the progress of work on a bypass linking the GFA and its neighbours (i.e., the Ghana Tourism Authority, National Roads Safety Authority, Ministry of Railways Development (Annex), the Ghana Industrial Property Office and the Ministry for Business Development). The about 120 meters rough road has been fixed, with the assurance that the road will soon be asphalted by the Ministry to make it user friendly.
There may be no direct relationship between football and roads. But the two entities found a way to connect this time following the Minister’s visit to the GFA Headquarters.
The Roads and Highways Minister was accompanied by a high-powered delegation from his Ministry. The list includes Minister for Business Development Hon. Awal Mohammed, Chief Director of the Ministry of Roads and Highways and Mrs. May Obiri Yeboah, Executive Director of the National Road Safety Authority among others.
Hon. Kwesi Amoako Atta assured the GFA of his readiness to asphalt the road in front of the GFA premises and the administration when the need arises.
“Football is a business. Football is not just a national business but perhaps the number one international business in the world. When I saw the road leading to this high-profile office, I bowed down in shame because it was an eyesore.
“We are very grateful again, we will enjoy this road for many, many years to come and when the trophy starts to come here, you will be one of the best to be invited to celebrate with us,” Kurt Okraku also noted.
