Andah (hands in pocket) explaining a point to the media
The first ever astro turf in Bawjiase in the Awutu-Senya West Constituency in the Central Region is nearing completion, DAILY GUIDE SPORTS has gathered.
The project, under the auspices of the Coastal Development Authority (CODA) engineered by the former Member of Parliament for the area who doubled as the deputy Minister for Communication, Nenyi Goerge Andah, is the first of its kind in a constituency which has produced power house talents like Michael Essien, Stephen Oduro of Asante Kotoko fame, Michael and Benjamin Akuffu, Stephen Awere of King Faisal etc after several decades of sporting activities being held on rocky and dusty football parks.
Residents have been hailing the project initiated by the former NPP MP, Nenyi George Andah, considering the fact that it will impact positively on the development of sports in the area.
The project upon completion would be classified as one of the modern sports facilities in the country which would boast of an artificial pitch, changing rooms, technical area and floodlights.
The former Minister and MP, Nenyi George Andah, during an inspection of the project over the weekend, observed that the turf is the beginning of the creation of a united and inclusive society, where what could be found in an elite community had been brought to the doorstep of the people of Awutu-Senya West.
He said the project, which is currently being piloted in various communities across the country, would be extended to other communities like Senya Bereku and Awutu-Bereku to help develop further football talents.
“It is worth mentioning that I have never regretted bringing this project to the people of Awutu-Senya West Constituency because I could tell from my tour of the site today that the youth are excited and can’t wait for them to put the project into use after its completion,” he said.
Supervisor of the project, Mensah Francis Sosu, said when the former MP visited the site he was satisfied with the work done so far, and promised that the facility would be ready for use by August this year.
He debunked the negative reportage making rounds that they were sabotaging the former MP, but rather he attributed the delay of the completion of the project to COVID-19 and promised to speed up work on the project.
