Hearts of oak acquire new secretariat

Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club Limited has finally purchased a building to be refurnished and redesigned to serve as the administrative seat and official secretariat of the club.

The building which is situated on the ring road near Trust Towers at Asylum Down in Accra, cost the club $140,000.

In an interview with the paper, Board Secretary, Ernest Thompson, revealed however that only an initial deposit of $100,000 has been made to the vendors for the building, with the remaining $40,000 to be paid when the club gets vacant possession.

He went on to explain that the contract, which is in an outright sale agreement has been successfully renegotiated and it is expected that total handover would be in December.

The contract of sale expected to be executed between the two parties followed by a conveyance, will be concluded and signed by the end of next week.

The building which is a 10-room, storey, with a separate out house is expected to be redesigned to cater for all departments available, which would broaden the professional outlook of the club.
