In an interview with the GNA Sports, Dzidzienyo was pleased with getting assistance from Ethiopian Airlines to compete in the tournament.
''I'm grateful to Ethiopian Airlines for supporting me and I want to use this competition as a preparatory platform towards next year's Para African Games.
''I am going for a gold medal this time around, because I am in a top shape of my career at the moment and with this type of support, I can't disappoint my nation Ghana and my sponsors,'' he said.
Dzidzienyo has won silver medals in all his three appearances at the competition.
