The Minister for Youth and Sports, Mr Mustapha Ussif, has inaugurated a 10-member committee to oversee the preparation and organization of the 2023 Para African Games to be hosted in Ghana from the 3rd to 12th of September 2023.
The Minister last Friday noted that the appointment and inauguration of the Local Organizing Committee as well as the construction of infrastructure was an indication that the nation, under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo has a great interest in the organization and hosting of the games.
