If elected, John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to build a stadium in every region.
Mahama clarified that the goal of this program is to foster youthful talent and assist youth development nationwide during a campaign stop in the Oti Region on Monday.
He underlined that in addition to enhancing sporting facilities, the initiative would generate employment possibilities in nearby areas.
“One of the policies of the NDC is to build stadiums in every region. So in the Oti Region, we will build one for you. Every region will also have a regional police station, and so we will also build one here for you. The NDC is the only party that will bring development to this region so that it will be recognized as the best region in the country,” he added.
The Accra Sports Stadium is now the only venue in Ghana authorized to hold events with CAF authorization.
But in 2016, the NDC opened the Cape Coast Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue that represented a major advancement in the country’s sports infrastructure, during Mahama’s previous administration.
