The Nkawkaw Sports Stadium has surprisingly been transformed into a maize field.
Atinka FM sports reported this unexpected turn of events, revealing that the construction contractor for the stadium was fully aware of the cultivation of corn on the premises.
According to Atinka FM, an official from the National Sports Authority named Kofi Debrah disclosed this surprising information.
The ceremonial groundbreaking for the Nkawkaw Sports Stadium took place on Friday, September 18, 2020, under the auspices of the former Youth and Sports Minister, Isaac Asiamah.
Just a year ago, Mustapha Ussif, the Minister for Youth and Sports, mentioned in a parliamentary inquiry that the construction expenses for the facility were projected to be around GH¢27 million.
He clarified that the project would be executed in two phases, with the initial phase estimated at approximately GH¢14 million.
The second phase, costing GH¢13 million, was anticipated to be completed within a span of two years.
“Currently, the architectural review has been completed and it is expected that the contractor would move to site in the shortest possible time for work to continue,” Mr. Ussif said.
“The Facility would be an eight-thousand-seater FIFA Standard Football Stadium, with a multi-purpose court for more than 16 sporting disciplines, tennis court, a gymnasium, a World Athletics standard tracks, hostels and a restaurant.”
