Kofi Adams believes the decision to appoint him as Minister for Sports and Recreation was based on the qualities he possesses.
Adams was given the position following the National Democratic Congress’ triumph in the 2024 general election, taking over from Mustapha Ussif.
According to him, the Ministry has been seeking someone capable of being both ‘tough and soft’ in the line of duty.
“Why did he (President Mahama) give me the Sports Minister? I am sure he was looking for someone with a combination of toughness and softness because you need that kind of tact to handle a Ministry like this,” Adams told Channel One News.
“A ministry that must have a military mentality and operate with a military precision. You need some level of toughness and softness at the same time.”
It’s been a busy period for Adams since assuming office, as he has given attention to several federations under his supervision while also monitoring various sports-related activities.
