Mustapha Ussif praised the 23 year old for his achievement, and tasked other athletes to take a cue from him.
“I’m super excited about Abeku Jackson’s two medals. I’m looking forward to more medals, not only from swimming but other athletes as well,” he said.
“That is why we gave them good opportunities, especially for camping.
“We’re expecting more athletes to put in effort to win more medals for Ghana,” he added.
