NYA to renovate Azumah Nelson Sports Complex

 The National Youth Authority (NYA) has expressed concerns about the deteriorating condition of the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex.

This follows a recent visit to the facility by the NYA’s CEO and the Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment to assess its current state.

In an exclusive interview with Citi News, Acting CEO of the National Youth Authority Osman Ayariga, stated that the NYA will collaborate with the Youth Ministry to renovate the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex in the shortest possible time with the goal of providing young people in the country with opportunities to develop their talents


Azumah Nelson Sports Complex is in a dilapidated state. It has become a breeding ground for very dangerous reptiles and animals. President John Dramani Mahama has said that he would want to make sure the youth of this country can develop and sharpen their talent.

“A facility like the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex is one facility that can be renovated to be able to sharpen the talent of young people.

He further indicated that the current state of the facility is a result of failed leadership and management, as well as the attitude of self-seeking credit.

“The issue had to do with management at a point and people decided to abandon it. This has to do with leadership crises. When you are handed over power, whether you like it or not, you must complete projects of the previous government, you do not have to let it rot just because you want to build a new one to have your name on it”

Meanwhile, the Acting CEO of the National Youth Authority, Osman Ayariga, urged politicians to refrain from abandoning projects initiated by previous governments, instead focusing on completing these projects to contribute to Ghana’s development.

Politicians should desist from the practice whereby if something was started by my predecessor, I do not want to complete it because it is not my name that will be on it. Whoever started it is immaterial. The most important thing is facilities are built to the benefit of the people of Ghana”
