Covid-19 has affected the completion of regional sports centres”- Deputy Sports Minister Reveals
Deputy Sports Minister, Perry Okudzeto, has stated that the completion of the regional sports centres across the country will be heavily affected due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
The centres, which are being built under the mandate of the National Youth Authority and by extension, the Sports Ministry, form part of government’s plans to properly engage the country’s youth and help them hone their sporting talents for the nation’s benefit and also give them some skills for life.
The 10 centres were set for completion by the mid-point of the year but with the pandemic still spreading and bringing loads of sectors and industries to a halt, their completion was always to get affected and the deputy sports minister confirmed this on Wednesday.
Per our research the various sports centres are expected to contain football stadia which can hold between 5,000 and 10,000 people and will have 8-lane running tracks, courts for basketball, handball and tennis, gyms, ICT Training centres, counselling centres, entrepreneurship centres and restaurant .
