The Minister for Youth and Sports, Hon. Isaac Kwame Asiamah, has cut sod to start the facelift of the Koforidua Sports Stadium to a modern standard facility.
This comes as part of government’s agenda to ensure that all regions in the country have modern sporting facilities.

“It shall also have a youth center which will include guidance and counseling center, entrepreneurship center, ICT center, restaurant and a maintenance center,” he added.
At the end of the ceremony, Hon. Isaac Asiamah hinted that the next region to experience the sod-cutting exercise will be the Upper West Region.
