Patron supports Street Academy’s ‘Back to School Project’
The Street Academy in Accra has received exercise books and other learning material to support its ‘Back to School Project.’
The materials were donated by Nii Boye Abbey, a patron of the Street Academy, a sports and culture organisation, with special emphasis in street and other deprived children.
The GH₵68,000 gesture was made up of 8,000 exercise books, 1,200 pieces each of pens, pencils, rulers, 800 mathematical sets, 4,000 Note 3 books and 4,000 pieces of erasers.
According to Nii Boye Abbey, the donation was his way of celebrating his 61st birthday anniversary as patron of the Street Academy.
He said giving these children a decent future was paramount for the academy and would work with other individuals and agencies that are ready to support that agenda to achieve that.
Ataa Lartey, the Director of the academy, said the donation came at an opportune time as it clashed with the academy’s ‘Back to School Project.’
This, he emphasised, would make sure that over 100 children of the Street Academy enjoy better education in the classroom as 2025-2026 academic year starts.
He called on other individuals and corporate bodies to support the academy with similar donations to help many more children to be in school.

Management of Asempa FM has issued a public apology to the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Kofi Adams, after wrongly quoting him in a recent publication about the selection of players for the Black Stars.
In a statement released by the station’s management, Asempa FM admitted that a quote card shared after Kofi Adams’ interview on Ultimate Sports Show on 13th October 2025 misrepresented his actual remarks.
According to the station, the error created a wrong impression that the Sports Minister was directly involved in selecting players for the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“The wording on the artwork may have created a misleading impression. For clarity, the Honorable Minister stated that the final decision on player selection rests solely with the technical team, and he emphasized the importance of transparency and merit-based selection,” the statement said.
Asempa FM expressed deep regret for the misrepresentation and apologized to Kofi Adams and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The management further assured the public that the station would take steps to ensure greater accuracy and care in its future communications.
“We hold Kofi Adams and his office in the highest regard and deeply regret any inconvenience or misunderstanding caused,” the statement concluded.

When Otto Addo took charge, Ghana sat fourth in Group I with just three points from two matches — a situation that seemed daunting for even the most optimistic fans. But what followed was one of the most remarkable turnarounds in African World Cup qualifying history.
Addo’s arrival brought renewed tactical clarity and belief. He restructured the team’s shape, redefined roles, and instilled discipline in both defense and attack. The results began to flow as Ghana went on an astonishing run of victories.
The coach’s calm leadership was crucial in restoring confidence to key players who had lost form. Veterans found new motivation, while youngsters flourished under his guidance, creating a perfect blend of maturity and energy.
Each win became a statement of intent — that Ghana was back. The team’s comeback victories over tough opponents like Mali and Central African Republic showed resilience and mental fortitude.
By the end of the campaign, the Black Stars had climbed from fourth to first, topping the group with 25 points and a +17-goal difference — a clear testament to Otto Addo’s transformational leadership.
This turnaround will go down in Ghana’s football annals as a story of hope, determination, and tactical brilliance that brought the nation back to the world stage.
