Confederation of African Football General Secretary, Veron Mosengo-Omba has lauded the leadership qualities of Ghana Football Association boss Kurt Okraku after he was retained as the President of the West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone B.
Okraku was re-elected unopposed for his first full term of office following the event in Abidjan. No other nominations for the position had been received by the set deadline .
The Ghanaian took charge of the regional body last year following the decision of Djibrilla Hima Hamidou of Niger to step down in May 2021.
“The endorsements of President Okraku by members in the zone shows that he has worked hard and has won the confidence of his colleagues who have given him the greenlight to continue,” the CAF General secretary told the meeting
“We have been providing the support for the regional bodies and we want to continue by helping them to do more in the regions to accelerate the development of the game.
“WAFU B is a strong and important member of CAF and as the host of the next AFCON here in Cote d’Ivoire you will play a very important role to ensure a successful AFCON.”
