There was an outpour of excitement in Gambaga in the North East Region as Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Monday morning, cut sod for the construction of a modern sports complex.
The project is aimed at providing modern sports facilities for the youth of Gambaga and its environs as well as serve as a social centre for the entire community.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony, which was attended by scores of excited youth, Dr. Bawumia said the Gambaga Sports Complex, when completed, will particularly help the youth to showcase their talents in sports, and also offer teams around a decent playing ground.
A couple of months ago, Dr. Bawumia commissioned a sports complex, named Naa Sheriga Sports Complex, which he personally built in Nalerigu for the community and its environs.
The contractor for the project, Wembley Sports, has promised to complete the project, which is being funded by Ghana Gas, in five months.
Facilities will include a 1,000-seater stands, a VIP area, washrooms for teams and spectators, changing rooms, office complexes, among others.
