The VVIP Stand
To say the Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfrom Constituency has witnessed a face-lift is an understatement.
And the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Sylvester Tetteh’s good works has nothing to do with the impending general election.
Nicknamed Sly, he has worked assiduously and consistently in the last three years to the admiration of many.
The modern-day Astro Turf, sited in Tuba, a Muslim community near Kokrobite, is one of the major social intervention programmes executed by the MP.
The 5,000-seater has been adopted by Premiership side Dreams FC as their home ground, and indications are that Great Olympics are the next in line to adopt the facility.
The FIFA-standard Astro Turf, which houses two changing rooms (Home and Away), stands, floodlights, and VVIP stands, since its construction has served many teams in and around the community.
The MP said in an interview, “The Astro Turf is one of the many social intervention programmes my team and I have executed, and l must admit, it is serving the intended purpose of nurturing sporting talents and serving as a recreational centre for the community to encourage healthy lifestyle.
“We have been able to touch on our road network; a major challenge that confronts the community, especially during rainy seasons. You will bear with me that Kokrobite has a huge tourism potential taking into account the many beaches dotted along the coast. The reconstruction of the road, especially the Old Barrier to Kokrobite stretch, will boost tourism in the area.”
