FA Boss (2nd L) with Access Bank MD (2nd R) displaying the dummy cheque<\/strong><\/p>\n The Managing Director of Access Bank Ghana PLC, Olumide Olatunji, has commended the leadership of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for investing the right levels of energy and commitment to the development of the game.<\/p>\n He was speaking at the GFA Secretariat on Tuesday, during the official announcement of Access Bank as the headline sponsor of the Division One League.<\/p>\n \u201cOver the years the Ghana Football Association has been very instrumental in nurturing players in the various Leagues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cGrowing up we knew of talents such as Abedi \u2018Pele\u2019 Ayew, Tony Yeboah and recently, Michael Essien and Asamoah Gyan, but I think the challenge of the GFA is to see to it and ensure that these names are many in the country, and I think that explains the partnership with Access Bank.<\/p>\n \u201cWe hope to work closely with the GFA to ensure that talents are nurtured, discovered and given an enabling environment to thrive and to begin to compete internationally.<\/p>\n \u201cWe believe in the GFA call to \u2018#BringBackTheLove\u2019 of football in the country, and this is evident in the class of sponsors you have been able to attract.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a Bank that operates in a country so passionate about the game, we want to ensure that our partnership will be the right ingredient to grow the League to the desired standard \u2013 which the Bank, the Association, the League, football lovers and the entire population will be proud of.<\/p>\n \u201cI must say that supporting the growth of sport is in line with Access Bank\u2019s corporate social responsibility, and clearly tells you that we value the development of sport as a Bank.<\/p>\n \u201cI am excited to see the GFA\u2019s commitments to the development of the game. We at Access Bank also appreciate this commitment and are pleased to be supporting in this regard,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n The media engagement was attended by GFA President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku.
