The Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif, has promised the rest of Africa that Ghana will deliver a competition that will be difficult to forget.
Ghana is hosting the 13th edition of the African Games with 53 other countries joining the West African nation for the continent's flagship competition.
This also happens to be the first time the competition is being held in Ghana.
Despite the Games commencing earlier this week, the opening ceremony was held on Friday, March 8, at the University of Ghana Stadium.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Minister said, "Today, thanks to the 13th African Games, courtesy His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Ghana can boast of the finest multi-sporting discipline facilities in the sub-region."
"These facilities will continue to be useful not only to Ghana but to the entire sub-region for training and competition purposes.
"This is a unique opportunity for Ghana and we are privileged and ready to deliver unforgettable games for Africa and the rest of the world."
The games will continue on Saturday, March 9, with swimming among a host of sports getting underway.
