Ghanaian sprinter Benjamin Azamati has called on President-elect John Dramani Mahama to prioritize investment in sports, including athletics, to help develop talents.<\/p>\n He advised the next government to invest in all sporting activities and not focus on the renowned ones, as it would impede the progress of the lesser-known sports.<\/p>\n Speaking in an interview with JoyNews, Azamati indicated that the returns from the investment will benefit the nation financially and improve the economic situation.<\/p>\n “So I think when we put more into the sports, not focusing on just one sport but focusing more, that would do well because there are a whole lot of talents in the country, and so focusing much on just one sport I think is going to hurt the country.<\/p>\n “Prioritizing other people than the rest, I think, wouldn’t do much for the country. So I think trying to invest in the sport is going to really benefit the nation, and I mean, a new government is coming in,” he said.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mahama has said that his government will invest in national teams, women\u2019s football, parasports, juvenile teams, and lesser-known sports.<\/p>\n Watch the video below<\/b> <\/p>\n ‘Invest in young talent’ \u2013 Ghana’s 100m record holder, Benjamin Azamati, tells incoming NDC administration.#JoySports<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Oa57slu2GV<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 #JoySports (@JoySportsGH) December 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Watch Sports Check with John Laryea below:<\/b><\/p>\n![\"Benjamin](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/704\/70410563.295.jpg\" "\\"Benjamin")
