The Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Osman Abdulai Ayariga, has assured that the government will complete the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex by the end of 2026.
Construction of the facility began in 2018 but has faced delays over the years.
Mr. Ayariga indicated that work on key components of the complex, including the administration block, is nearing completion.
He expressed optimism that the contractor will return to site soon, following what he described as a capital injection from the Ministry of Finance.
“Hopefully, we are looking at the contractor resuming work as soon as possible even before the end of this month. We hope to complete the entire sports complex before end of year, thanks to the capital injection by the Ministry of Finance and His Excellency John Mahama.
“He is very passionate about completing the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex, not only that but also the Youth Resource Centres across the country. Currently we have eight which are at various stages of completion. The promise was to complete at least two this year. We are looking at completing the Azuma Nelson Complex and any other centre, minimum,” he said.
Mr Ayariga further noted that the total cost of construction at the Azumah Nelson Sports Complex will be disclosed after the project is fully completed.
