The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nkoranza South constituency in the Bono East Region, Honorable Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum, has inaugurated a multipurpose sports complex at Akuma, a suburb of Nkoranza.
The complex, located at Kwabre Senior High School, features a football pitch, basketball and volleyball courts, table tennis, and netball facilities.
The project, financed by the MP, transforms a once grassless pitch into a state-of-the-art sports facility, demonstrating Hon. Agyekum's commitment to extending his social responsibility projects to the people of Nkoranza.
During the inauguration, the MP performed a ceremonial kick-off for an exhibition match, officially opening the sports complex for use.
Representatives from Nkoranza Senior High School, Donkro-Nkwanta Senior High School, God's Way Senior High School, and traditional leaders from Akuma attended the event.
In his speech, Honourable Agyekum emphasized his dedication to sports development, encouraging students to prioritize their academic studies.
He stressed that infrastructure is crucial for education and sports development, stating, "We are committed to positioning sports as a vehicle for economic growth and talent development. Football alone is a multi-billion industry, and we aim to develop our talents through this form of education."
The headmaster of Kwabre Senior High School, Rev. Amo Appau, expressed gratitude to the MP for his significant investment in the school's sports facilities.
He revealed that the school had requested the MP's assistance with the construction of the sports complex, and he has fulfilled his promise.
The multipurpose sports complex has been named "Agyekum Complex Park" in recognition of the MP's contribution.
