National Sports Authority (NSA) boss has been relived off his duties. The just sacked boss of NSA called Prof. Twumasi served the role of the sports Authority boss over five years since 2019.
Dodzie Numekevor has been appointed to be his replacement as the NSA boss. According to a report by Joy Sports,
Last year, Prof. Twumasi came under the spotlight when the NSA closed down the Accra Sports Stadium to football matches in December and rent it out for Christmas concerts instead.
This forced Ghana Premier League clubs like Hearts of Oak, Accra Great Olympics, Accra Lions and Dreams FC to find an alternative venue to play their home games.
Appearing before the Public Account Committee in February, Prof. Twumasi was queried over the deplorable state of the pitches after hosting the concerts.
However, he justified the decision to rent out the Accra Sports Stadium, saying it wasn’t out of place to be given out for social events.
“Other non-sporting activities occurring in our stadia are not new. This is not the first time Prof Twumasi is granting permission for the usage of the facilities for other non-sporting activities. It’s done all the time,” he said.
Numekevor’s appointed as the new NSA boss will be made official once he accepts it.
