Former General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, (GFA) Mr Worlanyo Agrah has been penciled down as the next Chief Executive Officer of the National Sports Council (NSC).
A highly placed source told GNA Sports that Mr Agrah who has been an Instructor for the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after his tenure at the GFA ended seven years ago, would soon be out-doored as the new boss of the NSC.
He will replace Prince Ernest Oduro-Mensah, who was implicated by the recommendations of the Marshall Belieb Committee that investigated the February 8 incident during a Premier League match involving Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kumasi.
The source said the appointment of Mr Agrah stems from his vast experience in the administration of football and sports in general.
The former GFA scribe, who also had a brief stint with CAF Marketing Partners, Sportive, as a Consultant during the past few editions of the Africa Cup of Nations, also served as a member of the Amalgamated Sports Club of the University of Ghana during the chairmanship of President John Evans Atta Mills.
The source added that his appointment is expected to be confirmed by the close of the week.
Former Member of Parliament for Chiana-Paga, Abuga Pele who was also considered a frontrunner for the vacant position moves to the Ministry of Youth and Sports as head of the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP).
Mr Agrah served as General Secretary of the GFA during the tenure of Presidents of Nana Sam Brew-Butler and Lepowura Mohamed Nurudeen Jawula.
