Bolga Community worried on fate of Staduim project amid COVID-19
A lot has changed since the Sports Ministry submitted the planning application for a new stadium at Bolga in the Upper East region as part of Goverment initiative to develop sports in the country.
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen the society as we know including live sport and business grind more or less to a halt,so it is not an easy climate in which to set about building a new stadium.But the expectation is that the development will continue apace, as a symbol of hope for clubs and city alike at a time of difficulty.
Although roughly 30 percent of the project workers are believed to currently be off work(with others having to do their jobs remotely) which is heavily causing the project to be delayed.
“We don’t want it to be delayed,we want the contractor to speed up the project for us”Bolga need park as others ” some citizens shared their concerns with GTV Sports Plus.
The Community further appealed to the government to complete the facility for them this year.
The Bolgatanga park was originally scheduled for opening on November last year but was postponed amidst some controversies regarding the cost and quality of the project.
The project, according to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Upper East deputy regional secretary, Awonekiya Figo, cost a sum of GH₵499,500.
