Ex -Hearts of Oak Board Member Stephen Akwetey honoured

The Ga Adangme Youth has honoured ex -Hearts of Oak Board Member Stephen Akwetey with a beautiful plaque, a Kente cloth for his several contributions over the years towards the development of the Ga community.
He was presented with a citation and the title ‘Youth Developmental Chief’ for his efforts.
This was after the aspiring Greater Accra NDC chairman has presented football equipment worth thousands of Cedis to the leadership of Ga-Adangme youth in a ceremony at Osu, a suburb of Accra
The presentation of the items, which included sets of quality jerseys and footballs, according to the donor, was to empower the youth in the Ga community.
Stephen Akwetey said that the items would later be handed to the Osu Hope for Future football team, with the aim of taking football talented individuals out of the streets.
He noted that several items and efforts would be provided to assist the Ga Youth in development across all sectors.
According to the politician and sports personality, donations must not only be done on festive occasions, but leaders must inculcate the habit of providing assistance from time to time to members of their communities.
“Don’t use the items only on festive occasions. I urge the youth to meet on regular basis to engage in football activities. I believe that will help discover more football talents,” Mr. Akwetey said.
Leader of the Ga-Adangme Youth, Nii Ayaafio Tetteh commended Mr. Akwetey for his continued support for Ga youth saying, “ Mr. Akwetey has supported the Ga youth tremendously, the recent donations would certainly go a long way to take our football activities to greater heights.”
