Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams has issued a stern warning to encroachers at the Borteyman Sports Complex land.
This interesting development emerged after the minister inspected the sports complex to assess the state of Ghana’s flagship multi-purpose facility over a year after the 13th African Games.
The minister revealed after the tour that it has come to his attention that part of the unused land has been invaded by some unauthorized individuals and groups.
The Member of Parliament for Buem Constituency disclosed that the Government of Ghana, in collaboration with the University of Ghana, secured about 99 and a half acres of land for the Borteyman project.
Adams, speaking to the media today after touring the facility, issued a strong caution to encroachers on the land. He advised them to redirect their investments elsewhere, calling it a “wasted investment.”
“Those who are engaged in construction, who have paid already and are constructing, it’s better for them to stop because any investment they make in this area will be a wasted investment.”
He further revealed that there’ll be more facilities to be built on the parts of the land which are undeveloped, hence encroachers should steer clear of the area.
“I want to send a message to all those who are either paying for land in this area or this space…for the land acquired from the University of Ghana for the purposes of developing sports infrastructure not to continue with the transaction.”
The previous administration planned to transform the facility into a sports university; however, there has not been any concrete implementation of this plan yet.
