He said this would enable stakeholders to fully assess the facilities for the needed updates to be made for the smooth take off of the competition early next year. Professor Fobih said this when briefing newsmen after inspecting the facilities under construction in Kumasi on Tuesday towards the nation's preparation for the CAN 2008 soccer fiesta.

Prof Fobih expressed satisfaction about the progress made so far by the contractors but said there was the need for them to increase the pace of work and proper supervision to provide quality facilities worthy of presentation to the sporting public. The Minister stressed that hosting of the competition was a national sporting affair that would also boost tourism and not for only sports and that it therefore behooves on the contractors and all stakeholders to ensure that the image of the nation was held in high esteem with a proper organisation.
