Staff from the various departments, including Newspapers (Editorial), Administration, G-Pak, Technical Services and Marketing, will compete in events such as five-a-side football, tug-of-war, volleyball, lime-and-spoon race, table tennis, eating from a string, 4 x 100-metre race, 100-metre race and sack race, among others.
The games, according to the organising committee, will be preceded by a walk along some principal streets of Accra and back to the El Wak stadium.
So far, members of the various departments are putting finishing touches to their intensified training over the weeks and have re-strategised to wrestle the ultimate from defending champions G-Pak, who reclaimed the title last year after winning it in 2014, to go home with the bragging rights.
The Newspapers department won the 2013 edition of the games followed by G-Pak in 2014, but Newspapers bounced back strongly in 2015 to reclaim the title.
Like previous editions, this year’s games will award cash prizes to individuals and groups that win medals in both the indoor and outdoor events.
It has been christened ‘Samuel Konadu Games’ in honour of a member of staff who died in the line of duty on the morning of the maiden games on September 22, 2012.
That maiden edition was postponed to the following year but the event has since been held annually in memory of the late employee.
All roads, therefore, lead to the El-wak stadium tomorrow for a friendly and exciting games
