Deputy Youth and Sports Minister, Hon. Pius Hadzide has stated that Sports has the potentials to create a lot of jobs for the youth.

According to Mr. Hadzide, Sports can be used to prevent crime and also to create wealth.

‘We see sports as a tool for crime prevention, so I encouraged that sports is an industry that has the potential to create jobs for the youth of Ghana.”

He continued: “For we to do that we all have to put hands on deck to make sure that we revolutionise sports in this country and turned it into a modern day industry but it will require huge infrastructure investment, it will require massive training in manpower and technical direction. So we are looking forward to establishing national sports policy.
