Mr. Sandy Osei Agyeman delivering his address
Many people have created the impression that sports is reserved for students who cannot cope with their academic pursuits and therefore, look down on those who develop interest in sports.
Unfortunately, people who hold such perceptions have been proved wrong when Mr Sandy Osei Agyemang, a former National Sprinter and Ghana’s Olympic star, at two different competitions, shared a few thoughts with students and pupils of North Legon Little Campus at Madina on Friday, March 25th, 2023.
Addressing the school’s fifth sports programme, Mr Sandy Osei Agyemang, who represented Ghana in 100 and 200 metre-sprint at the Olympic Games at Munich in Germany and Montreal in Canada respectively in the 1970’s, said time management was an important factor in the formation of a good habit.
He said time management would help students to apportion their time equally to the various programmes they studied at school.
Mr Osei Agyemang called on the students to be guided by their thoughts, be focused, combine their dreams with prayers which would eventually help them in developing their faith in God.
He said what he had envisaged as a young person to become in life, guided him to be who he is today.
He advised the students to be consistent and develop the interest in sports since it would make them to be smarter and faster.
The Director of the school, Mr Douglas Djarbeng described Mr Sandy Osei Agyemang as a man of many parts, said having worked very hard Mr Osei Agyemang who has obtained BSC in Finance, Master’s in Financial Management, and has a company that manufactures hair and skin products has endeared himself to many Ghanaians.
The Djarbeng House won this year’s competition with 110 points, Yartey House followed with 104 points, Nunno House gathered 78 points to place third and Cofie House obtained 72 points.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Executive Committee member and Volta River Authority (VRA) Board Member, Wonder Victor Kutor, has described calls for the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as premature and unjustified.
He argued that there was no evidence to establish that the minister had committed any wrongdoing to warrant such demands.
Speaking on Joy News in Accra on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Mr Kutor questioned what had changed to justify the growing calls for the minister to step down.
He recalled that the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, had earlier indicated that the opposition was not accusing Mr Ablakwa of any wrongdoing.
Mr Kutor, therefore, challenged those demanding the minister’s resignation to provide fresh evidence to support their position.
“The call for the Minister to resign is premature, it is untenable. There is no evidence. I mean, what has he done wrong?” he questioned.
He added that documents, including boarding passes, airline receipts and flight manifests relating to the minister’s return journey, had been provided.
Mr Kutor expressed concern that the calls for Mr Ablakwa’s resignation could discourage young politicians from speaking out against corruption and advocating transparency.
According to him, politicians should not be targeted or maligned for demanding accountability, warning that such treatment could create the impression that speaking against corruption could later become a liability when one is appointed to public office.
He maintained that calling for accountability and transparency should not be used as grounds to target public officials without evidence of wrongdoing.
