External works at stadium were poorly done, Council
Essipong (W/R) Feb. 6,
Ghanadot/GNA – The Western Regional Sports
Development Officer, Mr Berexford Ogebarmey Amui on Thursday
expressed concern that the external works at the Sekondi
Sports Stadium were poorly done by the local contractors.
Mr Amui said this when led a group of journalists on a first
hand inspection of the shoddy external works executed by
local contractors at the stadium at Essipong near Sekondi.
He pointed out some of the deterioration that have become
visible at some of the drains, walls, gates, pavements and
the parking lot outside the stadium.
The Regional Development Officer was also not happy that the
consultant of the Sekondi Sports Stadium project had
certified that the external works were well executed.
Mr Amui who assumed his position recently suggested to the
local contractors to move back to site and repair the
damages before the facilities deteriorate further.
He said since the stadium has been handed over to the
National Sports Council, it is its responsibility to see to
it that the local contractors involved did the right thing.
Mr Amui at a press conference later said the Council would
organize coaching courses in basketball and handball in the
first quarter of the year at Sekondi.
He said the courses would be primarily for physical
education officers of the security services and the Ghana
Education Service.
Mr Amui said the Sekondi Sports Stadium would be the venue
for some athletics competitions, adding that the residential
quarters of the Chinese artisans of the contraction of the
stadium would be turned into camps for sportsmen during
competitions.
He commended Zoomlion Ghana Limited for keeping the stadium
clean and the security personnel for ensuring safety despite
some acts of petty thefts.
Mr Amui urged the media to collaborate with the Council to
promote and develop sports including beach games which would
soon be introduced in the Region.
