Mr. Kwaku Agyemang-Duah, Chief Executive Officer of AOMC, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency Tema Regional Sports Desk, commended all the teams and companies that participated in the 2023 PETFUN games.
He noted that the reason behind the excitement was that they missed the action due to the COVID-19 interruption, which forced AOMC to put the fun games on hold until this year. “This is a revival spirit among the industry players”.
Mr. Agyemang-Duah, who is also the AOMC Industry Coordinator, also commended the management of the Burma Camp Sports Complex for hosting and supporting PETFUN 2023.
