Accra, May 14, GNA – Mr Bawah Fuseni, the President of Ghana Athletics Association (GAA) says organisers have resolved problems that marred the opening day of the 24th African Senior Athletics Championships being held in Accra.
The championships were hit by complaints from journalists, athletes and coaches over issues including security, accommodation, scheduling and access to competition results.
According to Mr Fuseni, the concerns had been addressed and measures put in place to ensure a smooth competition.
“I want to assure Ghanaians and the entire African continent that Ghana is prepared and will do whatever it takes to make this a successful competition,” Mr Fuseni said.
“Although there were some hiccups, we have found good solutions and put measures in place. You will continue to see improvements until the final day of the championships,” he added.
Mr Fuseni also said security at the venue would be strengthened to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all participants and stakeholders.
The 24th African Senior Athletics Championships enters its third day on Thursday, with host nation Ghana yet to win a medal, as Nigeria and South Africa continued to dominate the standings.
