The Director General of the National Sports Authority, Prof. Peter Twumasi has expressed gratitude to The President of the land, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Hon. Isaac Kwame Asiamah, Ashanti Regional Minister, Hon Simon Osei Mensah and all who in diverse ways made it possible for the successful hosting of Ghana’s 63rd Independence anniversary celebration at the Baba Yara Sports stadium in Kumasi.

He also commended NSA staff and volunteers from all walks of life who among others spent several days in the renovation works that preceded the Independence anniversary event.

The NSA undertook major renovations works on some facilities which included the removal of the dilapidated tartan tracks, painting of the inner and outer fence walls and galvanized gates, cleaning of the spectators’ seats, restoration of the elevator at the VVIP lounge, upgrading of the sewerage system among others.

He further commended the various security agencies who ensured the safety of life and property before, during and after the event.

Prof. Twumasi is assuring all Ghanaians that the National Sports Authority (NSA) will be ready to host any national or International event in all the stadia, after the ongoing major renovation works at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and the Esipon Sports Stadium.

Once again, and on behalf of the Board, Management and staff of the NSA, I am using this medium to thank all who helped in making 63rd Independence anniversary a success.
