Leader of The New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako has announced plans to set up football academies in Ghana that are aimed at adding value to players before their transfers to Europe.

Appearing as a guest on GTV's ''Presidential Encounters'' on Tuesday night, Mr. Bediako first stated his opposition to private-owned football academies.

''What is happening is that somebody will form an academy and call it Right to dream and then when you have your right to dream now, you have go through someone's country in Holland before they sell you. So you're just like a polished slave.''

''You know, he polishes you then he sends you to Holland before they give him a price and he will give you a portion of it,'' he said.

However, his solution appeared to be a replica of the Right to Dream Academy; a holistic educational system that combines a modern football curriculum with a strong foundation of the current academic syllabus.

''When we can actually have academies that will breed a lot of footballers and sell them to the world for millions of dollars and most of the money will circulate in our system and they will also feel entitled to where they got their skills from, where they got their breakthrough,'' he said.

''So they are going to stay true to the country. I would rather do that. I would rather have a combined academy with a school so that we can breed them properly and after that, we can go and buy some Chelsea's and Manchester's just like the Arabs are doing and make our country stronger.''

Nana Kwame Bediako, an independent candidate, is one of eight presidential aspirants for Saturday's General Elections.
