” It is very important to have pitches or maybe even have better pitches.
But these difficult circumstances also make diamonds so it’s good that up to a certain point.
We have a lot of pitches but then I think we have to do more a little bit in developing for under 15,16,17 going forward.
We can do more but I think the grassroots is good but we have to nurture them.
We have to help, support them, show them love and inspire them”.
“We have to show up it’s very important everybody should try and support these young boys because these are our future so we have to provide the pitches.
We have to help the coaches around them those who were running all the pitches.
We have to support them to run it well because the boys are our future and very soon five or six years.
We will see one of them playing in the national teams.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
