    Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams

    The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, on Monday, July 7, 2025, made a surprise visit to the Borteyman Sports Complex to investigate reports of unauthorised land encroachment on the facility.

    Kofi Adams was visibly upset during the tour, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the widespread unauthorised construction and development activities encroaching on the sports complex’s perimeter.

    He highlighted that the entire parcel covers approximately 99 acres, with 43 acres already developed to host key facilities for the African Games.

    The remaining 53 acres, which were reserved for future expansion and complementary sports infrastructure, are now under threat from encroachers.

    The Sports Minister sternly warned developers and land encroachers at the Borteyman Sports Complex, stating that any construction on the disputed land would be at their own risk and would likely be demolished, making any investment a waste of money.

    “This land was secured from the University of Ghana by government as a national sports infrastructure asset, and no private interest will be allowed to compromise its purpose,” the Minister said.

    To underscore the Ministry’s resolve, Minister Adams swiftly contacted the Inspector-General of Police, prompting a rapid deployment of officers to the complex.

    Within hours, the police arrived and halted all ongoing construction work, enforcing the Ministry’s stance against unauthorized development.

    The police presence resulted in the immediate cessation of activities, with all workers directed to vacate the premises.

    No equipment or materials were seized, but the enforcement team made it clear that any attempt to return to the site would attract further sanctions.

    Minister Adams revealed that while the immediate focus was on halting the unauthorized construction, the Ministry was also engaging with key stakeholders to develop a long-term strategy to safeguard the complex against future land encroachment.

    The Minister emphasized that developers investing in the disputed land do so at their own peril.

    “This is public property, built with taxpayers’ funds to promote sports development,” he declared. “We won’t permit unauthorized activities to compromise the complex’s intended purpose.”
