During an interview with Citi Sports, Ibrahim emphasized that the University Of Ghana will not be subjected to the poor maintenance practices seen in other facilities across the country.

"We are committed as a nation to ensure that when we talk about development and progress, we are truly adding value. Our goal is for the nation and all state institutions to thrive.
