The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reportedly lifted Ghana's suspension from the fraternity.
Mr. Kojo Bonsu, Board Chairman of the Ghana Sports Council told Radio Gold that a meeting held in Seoul, South Korea, took the decision Friday morning.
The IOC, claiming political interference in the administration of the Ghana Olympic Committee, suspended it from its membership in January this year.
"About an hour ago, I think, in Korea the ban was lifted", an apparently elated Kojo Bonsu, recently appointed acting Managing Director of Ghana Oil Company Limited (GOIL) said.
He was certain with the decision, Ghana could be part of the 2012 Olympics in London and expressed gratitude to Youth and Sports Minister, Clement Kofi Humado; marketing consultant Frank Appiah; Mr. BT Baba of the GOC; Dr Valerie Sawyerr, a Deputy Chief of Staff; National Sports Council CEO, Worlanyo Agra and the Parliamentary legal team for helping to fashion out a package that he said led to the lifting of the ban.
"It means a lot to us because we were out of the Olympic fraternity and we are back in the fold, so that means we will be able to take part in all international events, eg; Olympic Games and other international meets," said Kojo Bonsu.
