Gyeninso (Ash), Oct. 08, GNA – Mr Tweneboah Kodua Fokuo, the Member of Parliament for Manso Nkwanta, has cut sod for the construction of modern football pitches for the Gyeninso and Bontefufuo communities in the Amansie West District of the Ashanti Region.
The project forms part of the MP’s efforts to promote sporting activities and create opportunities for young people in the constituency to develop and nurture their football talents.
Mr Fokuo described the initiative as part of his commitment to promoting sports and creating a conducive environment for the youth to develop their talents.
He said modern sporting facilities would help encourage young people to participate actively in sports, while providing opportunities for the identification and development of football talents in the area.
He therefore urged the youth to refrain from drug abuse, cautioning that such practice could negatively affect their health, education, and prospects.
Mr Daniel Sarpong, the Project Manager of Madreperla Essential Limited, the company undertaking the project, explained that the construction was intended to provide suitable sporting facilities for the beneficiary communities.
He appealed to residents to cooperate with the contractors and support the project to ensure its timely and successful completion.
Mr Sarpong expressed optimism that the project would be completed within four to six months, subject to the necessary support and cooperation from the communities.
Nana Appiah Kubi II, the Chief of Gyeninso, commended Mr Fokuo for initiating the project, saying the provision of sporting facilities would contribute to the development of young talents in the area.
He said the project would provide the youth with a better environment to develop their football skills and engage in productive activities.
Nana Appiah Kubi II, however, used the occasion to appeal to delegates in the constituency to reconsider the practice of changing Members of Parliament after only one term.
He argued that giving MPs sufficient time in office could enable them to implement and complete development projects initiated for their constituents.
