The national executives of the Ghana Technical Universities Sports Association (GHATUSA) have paid a courtesy visit to the Vice-Chancellor of Sunyani Technical University (STU), Ing. Prof. Kwadwo Adinkrah-Appiah, to deliberate on key issues ahead of future GHATUSA Games.
During the meeting, the executives expressed their appreciation to the Vice-Chancellor and the entire STU community for the warm hospitality accorded them during their visit and discussed challenges encountered during the last GHATUSA Games, particularly in the areas of feeding and accommodation, and sought ways to ensure improved conditions for upcoming tournaments.
In his response, the Vice-Chancellor assured the delegation that STU is committed to addressing the challenges experienced in the last games and reaffirmed the University’s determination to host a successful and memorable GHATUSA tournament when STU takes its turn as host institution in 2027.
Prof. Adinkrah-Appiah further highlighted the current infrastructural challenges facing the University, particularly in relation to sports facilities and emphasized the urgent need for the completion and development of facilities such as an AstroTurf football field, standard runway tracks, a handball pitch, and other key sporting infrastructure to meet the standards required for hosting a national tournament.
He therefore appealed to the GHATUSA executives and other national stakeholders to support STU in mobilizing the necessary resources to complete these facilities in time for the games.
The Vice-Chancellor also assured the executives that STU would work tirelessly to host a successful tournament in 2027 and, at the same time, address the challenges that marred the last edition of the games in Cape Coast.
The meeting marked an important step in strengthening collaboration between STU and GHATUSA as preparations begin towards a successful tournament.
