His Excellency President John Mahama has confirmed plans to
construct sports stadiums in regions without facilities. Designs are underway,
and three stadiums are slated for construction this year, as per the budget.
Alagumgube, a developmental organization founded in the USA with branches
across Ghana and the diaspora, is urging the President and Sports Minister to
prioritize the Upper East Region (UER) as one of the three beneficiaries.
Mr. Gabriel Agambila, Founder of Alagumgube, emphasizes the
region’s lack of a sports stadium since its creation and requests that the
design includes an athletic track, basketball court, volleyball court, and a
boxing arena, similar to Bukom in Accra, to harness the region’s abundant
talents.
Alagumgube commends President Mahama for fulfilling his
campaign promise to construct 24-hour markets in all constituencies and
suggests that the sod cutting for the market, stadium, and airport projects be
done concurrently to optimize resources.
The organization believes this approach will not only save
costs but also reduce disruptions and enhance project efficiency. Alagumgube
looks forward to the President’s favorable consideration of their appeal and
assures him of their continued support for development initiatives in the Upper
East Region.
