Chief among the list of legacies he wants to leave behind in the sports sector is to organize the best tournament in Ghana during the Africa Games in 2023.

Ghana will host the 13th edition of the Africa Games in three cities namely Accra, Kumasi, and Cape Coast in the year 2023.

Also, he wants to be noted for the creation of jobs and the development of skills among the youth to help eradicate the unemployment situation in the country.

“I want to be remembered as the Minister who developed the skill. We always talk about unemployment and our people are not employed because they lack certain skills.
