Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams is pledging improved infrastructure to support the government’s recreation agenda.

According to him, the plan is a top priority for President John Mahama, and the goal is to scale up recreational projects to promote wellness among Ghanaians.

The Member of Parliament for Buem Constituency is currently in Morocco “not only to support” Ghana’s Black Queens at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations but also to use the trip “as a learning opportunity.”

"His Excellency the President did not rename the Ministry to Sports and Recreation for nothing," he told the media.

"He did so because he wants us to pay particular attention to issues of recreation.

"It will help bring about wellness, which means better working hours and fewer expenses on health bills. Non-communicable diseases will drastically reduce."
