For nearly a decade, one man has quietly but indelibly shaped what has become Ghana’s leading alumni sporting event: the BHOBU Games.
That man is John-Paul Adjadeh—visionary, organiser, and unifying force behind an initiative that has redefined what school reunions can achieve.
As Chairman of the BHOBU Games Planning Committee, Mr. Adjadeh has transformed the annual gathering of the Bishop Herman Old Boys Union (BHOBU) into a national celebration of sportsmanship, unity, and institutional pride.
What began as a modest get-together among former schoolmates has grown under his leadership into a high-profile event attracting thousands of participants, sports enthusiasts, and corporate partners from across the country.
Now a fixture on Ghana’s alumni calendar, the BHOBU Games draw over 3,000 attendees each year, backed by strong media presence and community engagement. More than just a sports day, the Games have become a model of alumni-driven impact—raising funds to support infrastructure, scholarships, and student development at Bishop Herman College.
Speaking to Joy Sports, Mr. Adjadeh credits the Games’ success to early planning, collective ownership, and a commitment to transparency.
“We lead by example,” he said.
“From health walks to build-up meetings, we keep our members involved and energised throughout the year.”
Trust, he adds, is at the core of their operations.
“We render accounts almost immediately—sometimes within 24 hours. That level of openness builds credibility and keeps the community deeply engaged.”
Under his stewardship, the BHOBU Games have become a benchmark. Alumni groups across Ghana now consult Mr. Adjadeh and his team for guidance in replicating the model.
“Our attention to detail and commitment to excellence have set a standard,” he said. “This isn’t just about sport—it’s about legacy, wellness, accountability, and giving back.”
With a background in governance and dispute resolution, Mr. Adjadeh brings a calm, strategic lens to alumni coordination. It’s a blend of technical skill and human touch that has earned him wide respect across both institutional and national platforms.
As the BHOBU Games continue to grow in stature, the imprint of John-Paul Adjadeh’s leadership offers a lasting blueprint—showing how vision, unity, and accountability can turn an annual event into a national movement.
