Having previously stated on tv3 Sports Station that football is the heartbeat of Ghana and the Black Stars the foremost product, Kofi Adams reiterated his stance to Supersport, shedding light on his role in the process.
“I’m not Minister for football. I’m Minister for Sports and Recreation,” he said.

“Every sport will get its fair share of support and attention, even non-competitive sports will get their fair attention at the national level, regional, and even below regional level. Football will continue to have its rightful place others too will grow,” he added.
