“Within the Local Government Service, we can dedicate a chair for Sports. We will appoint an existing staff to be on that Sports desk. Then the Ghana Education Service which has Sports Officers can hunt for talent at the local level.

That is why Local Government Service wants to partner football people come together and set up this Sports desk”, he concluded.
