Accra, Jan. 10, GNA – The Kofi Asimenu Foundation in collaboration with the 153 Armoured Regiment has commissioned its first State-of-the-art multipurpose sports court located at the mounted Squadron.
The project was undertaken in honour of the late Ernest Kofi Asimenu, whose legacy of leadership, kindness and inspiration continues to touch countless lives.
The event was characterized by the presence of dignitaries, family members, and esteemed guests, including the Guest of Honour Brigadier General W Dzandu-Hedidor, who officially commissioned the facility.
A statement issued in Accra said the event witnessed a sod cutting and unveiling of the plaque, a symbolic moment that reflected the dedication of the court to the memory of Ernest Kofi Asimenu.
It said beyond the physical infrastructure, the Foundation was committed to a broader mission of creating awareness about diabetes, a disease that profoundly impacted the life of Ernest Kofi Asimenu.
It said as part of the Foundation’s initiatives, it aimed to
educate communities about the importance of early diagnosis, healthy living, and support for individuals and families affected by diabetes.
The Foundation believes that facilities such as the multipurpose court could also serve as centres for promoting physical fitness, a key component in managing and preventing diabetes.
Dr. Ernest Kafui Asimenu, the Executive Director of the Foundation, said, “The court is not just a sports facility but a call to action and it reminds us of the importance of staying active, fostering community spirit, and addressing health challenges like diabetes that affect so many lives.”
He said through awareness campaigns and community engagements, the Foundation would continue to honour their father’s legacy by advocating for healthier lifestyles.
The commissioning ceremony also featured exhibition matches in volleyball, basketball and badminton showcasing the court’s versatility and providing a glimpse of its potential to foster community bonding and talent development.
The Foundation also announced plans for future community centered projects aimed at uplifting lives, fostering unity, empowering individuals particularly in the areas of health, education and sports development.
