‘I deserved to be appointed as Minister of Sports’ – Kofi Adams

Buem MP, Kofi Adams, says he is ready and capable of leading the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.

President John Mahama has nominated him for the position, and he will now face vetting by the Appointments Committee.

At 49 years old, Kofi Adams is set to take over from Mustafa Ussif, who served as Sports Minister since 2021 under President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration.

“As a party member, I have done enough and knew I was going to play a role in the administration in one form or the other,” he told GHOne TV.

“I was prepared to serve in any Ministry but two [Attorney General and Finance Ministry] and so I am not surprised where I am taking to.

“It is a responsibility. I have identified, studied, followed it [sports] and we can work together as a country and bring our sports to a level that we all desire it should be.”

Kofi Adams is expected to improve the sports sector by upgrading facilities, securing funds for national teams, and boosting their performance in major competitions.
