Mustapha Ussif, the sports minister has tasked the media to report positives from the African Games currently ongoing in Ghana.<\/p>\n
There has been reports of disorganization in certain areas of the events over the last few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery international organization (and) officials that we have engaged, every one of them is applauding Ghana for a very spectacular game, so far. So, let us all embrace and come and position Ghana as the sports destination that we are all yearning to position.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is my appeal to the media, are there are a lot of positives that we can report, let\u2019s focus on them and report so that we can position our country, thank you,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
The opening ceremony for the 13th African Games took place on March 8, 2024, at the newly constructed University of Ghana Sports Stadium.<\/p>\n
