“These facilities will continue to be useful not only to Ghana but to the entire sub-region for training and competition purposes.
“This is a unique opportunity for Ghana and we are privileged and ready to deliver unforgettable games for Africa and the rest of the world.”
The games will continue on Saturday, March 9, with swimming among a host of sports getting underway.
