Out of the total amount,  $22,000 is to be used for Team Ghana’s hotel accommodation and utility bills with the additional $10,000 in cash for the management of the the well-being of the athletes and officials .

 “I believe Ghana has always had a huge potential to win medals during such big occasions but I think they don’t live up to expectations during such events due to due to the lack of motivation,” Dr Nduom said.

 Professor Dodoo, who received the donation, hailed Dr Nduom for strongly demonstrating his love for sports and assured Ghanaians that  the money will be used  to support the GOC during the games.  

Ghana will compete in four disciplines in this year’s games. A total of track and field athletes, two swimmers, one weightlifter, one judoka, and a boxer will feature for Ghana during the games..
