Kumasi, Jan. 6, GNA - The Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr Kofi Humado, has underlined the need for the executives of the Ghana Universities Sports Association (GUSA) to forge closer collaboration with the National Sports Authority (NSA) to develop sports to a higher level.

Such a collaboration, he noted would help to harness sporting talents in the universities to become elite athletes to feature for the various national teams.

Mr Humado said these in an address at the opening ceremony of the 22nd edition of the GUSA Games at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi.
