The Minister nominee for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Iddie Adams yesterday appeared before the Parliamentary Vetting Committee following his nomination by President John Dramani Mahama.
The caucus touched on diverse issues affecting Ghanaian sports, from football to infrastructure.
Adams brushed aside concerns for being completely unknown in the sports fraternity, affirming his readiness to take on the role and assuring Ghanaian of his dedication to excel.
“I will not disappoint Ghanaians, and I will not disappoint His Excellency the President (John Mahama). I will deliver and won't also disappoint myself.”
The 49-year-old's appointment comes at a difficult time for Ghanaian sports, with the senior national football team, the Black Stars, struggling on the international stage after back-to-back group-stage exits at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and missing qualification for the 2025 edition.
