The Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the 2023 Africa Games, has called on Ghanaians to embrace the event and contribute their quota to make it a successful event.
Speaking during a Christmas carnival in Takoradi, Chairman of the Committee, Dr Ofosu-Asare described the event as the biggest festival on the continent, and called on Ghanaians to be a part of it.
