‎Ghana’s Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has called on African countries to put aside individual interests and unite for the growth of athletics on the continent.
‎
‎Speaking during the Council Meeting of the Confederation of African Athletics in Accra, kofi Adams, urged member nations to “speak with one voice” whenever issues concerning African athletics arise.
‎
‎According to him, although athletes compete under different national flags, African countries must maintain a united front at the administrative level to push the continent’s sporting agenda.
‎
‎“We may have our athletes competing based on our flags from individual countries, but when we meet as a federation like this, I want us to speak with one voice,” he said.
‎
‎The minister stressed that collaboration among African nations would help improve sports infrastructure across the continent and strengthen Africa’s influence in global athletics.
‎
‎He further commended Sebastian Coe for his leadership at World Athletics, noting that athletics has become more competitive and attractive under his administration.
