'I don’t envy your job' - President Mahama acknowledges challenges facing Kofi Adams

President John Dramani Mahama acknowledged the challenging role of Kofi Iddie Adams as the new Minister for Sports and Recreation, emphasizing the monumental task ahead.

At the swearing-in ceremony on February 7, 2025, Mahama highlighted the struggles within Ghana's sports sector, including poor infrastructure, underperformance, and lack of investment.

He stressed the need for transparency, professionalism, and modernization in sports administration.

Mahama specifically mentioned revitalizing the Ghana Football Association and restoring the Black Stars to their former glory.
