Former President John Dramani Mahama has extended a gesture of support to Ghana’s Youth Men and Women riders who won bronze medals during the Team Time Trial competition at the African Road Race Cycling Championship. The former President donated GHS8000 to the team, acknowledging their remarkable achievement in winning Ghana’s only medal in the competition.
Donation Ceremony
The donation was made on behalf of Former President Mahama by Madam Akua Sena Dansoa and Professor Joshua Alabi at Ablekuma-Olebu, where the championship was taking place. The event is part of the 19th Confederation of African Cycling, which commenced on February 8 and served as a qualification mark for the Accra 2023 Africa Games and the 2024 Olympics Games in Paris, France.
Call for Support
Mr. Dennis Kweku Moore, Public Relations Officer for the Ghana Cycling Federation, expressed profound gratitude to Former President Mahama for his timely intervention. He also urged other individuals, corporate entities, Non-Governmental Organizations, and the government to support the team. Notably, Moore lamented the absence of government officials from the Sports Ministry, National Sports Authority, and Ghana Olympic Committee during the competition.
