Asante Kotoko winger, Stephen Amankona, will have a village named after him, if he is able to build on the land allocated to him, according to the Chief of Jinijini Nana Baffour Tutu.
Stephen Amankona was awarded four plots of land and cash for winning the Ghana Premier League title with Asante Kotoko this season and also being the first player to play for Asante Kotoko.
The Chief of Jini Jini indicated Stephen Amankona’s achievement will encourage most of the youth in the town to follow in his footsteps.
“We decided to reward him because of hard work. There are a lot of players with talent in this town and this is to encourage those behind so they work harder and play to the highest level. By doing so the town will also be popular”, Nana Baffour Tutu explained why they decided to reward Stephen Amankona in an interview on Wamputu Sports on Happy FM.
“If he builds on the land that has been given to him, that area will be named after him. It will be called Amankona krom”, he added.
He also received Ghc 2,000 from the MP Kwaku Agyenim Boateng Agoogo.
Ghc 1,000 from Bono NPP Regional Women organizer and Ghc 1,000 Doris Asomah and four plots of land from traditional council.
