Accra, Oct 21, GNA \u2013 President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has praised the Ghana Armwrestling Federation (GAF) for the sport\u2019s remarkable growth, calling on corporate Ghana to support its continued development.<\/p>\n
In a meeting with the Ghana\u2019s Armwrestling Federation, President Akufo-Addo expressed admiration for the sport\u2019s rapid progress having pushed Ghanaians onto the various committees of the international federation and won a significant number of medals for Ghana since 2016 with the brilliant outing during the African Games.<\/p>\n
\u201cArmwrestling has made tremendous strides in Ghana, and it\u2019s heartwarming to see our athletes excel internationally,\u201d President Akufo-Addo said. \u201cThe GAF deserves commendation for its tireless efforts especially for saving Ghana during the African Games.\u201d<\/p>\n
The President highlighted Armwrestling\u2019s potential to promote healthy lifestyles, youth development, and national pride.<\/p>\n
\u201cArmwrestling embodies the values of discipline, perseverance, and teamwork,\u201d President Akufo-Addo emphasized.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s essential we nurture this sport to benefit our youth and nation, and I urge corporate and multinational institutions to support or partner Armwrestling through sponsorships of development programs and participation in competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n
I wholeheartedly commend Charles Osei Asibey, an astute journalist with many portfolios and his board for study rise since 2016. \u201cArmwrestling is traditional, but I didn\u2019t know it was a sport we practice in Ghana until I started reading about it in the dailies\u201d. Nana Addo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI appeal to corporate Ghana to join forces with the GAF because the government alone cannot make it possible,\u201d President Akufo-Addo said. \u201cTogether, we can create a thriving Armwrestling ecosystem benefiting our youth, promoting healthy lifestyles, and showcasing Ghanaian excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo also praised Grace Minta for her super performance and ambassadorial role in the many achievements.<\/p>\n
GAF President, Charles Osei Asibey, thanked the President for his endorsement and said the federation\u2019s goal is to make Armwrestling a household name and the sport of choice in Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re committed to encouraging participation, developing grassroots talent and producing both continental and global champions.\u201d Osei Asibey said.<\/p>\n
The GAF President expressed gratitude to the government and institutions like SES HD Plus Ghana, Kofikrom Pharmacy Limited, Twellium Industries, national Health Insurance Authority, Nguvu Mining Limited, Ghana Gas Company, ABL Eagle Extra Stout and the many others who have invested in the development of Armwrestling<\/p>\n
The President tasked the sports minister to work with the federation in recognizing Armwrestling\u2019s potential for national development.<\/p>\n
Armwrestling will be given a training center and a secretariat for Africa will be situated in Accra.<\/p>\n
Present at the meeting were the Chief of Staff, Madam Frema Opare, Minister for Youth & Sports, Hon. Mustapha Ussif, Mr. Ibrahim Adjei and other members of the office of the President, Pharm.
