_CENTER SPREAD OF THE PEASE POLICY—KTU TO GET A SPORTS COMPLEX WITH A FULLY FURNISHED ASTRO-TURF WHEN VOTED

The PEASE policy as headlined by Team JAPK is the driving force to accelerate the development of the SRC and also to initiate a modified system of governance in KTU. One of the subsidiaries under the PEASE policy to be discussed is the ‘Project’. Project has six blocks of items in which one will be digested in this edition of the center spread.

To begin with, the indefatigable problem identifiers of Team JAPK noticed that; the disciplines that make up the University includes sports as an extra-curricular activity, again sports is a lucrative medium that employs some talented youth (Sportsmen) in Ghana. Considering the benefits that comes with developing sports, it is vital to have facilities that will train our sportsmen and hence help them secure jobs in their field. 

In perspective, the solution is to commence negotiations, engage sports experts and some companies to have a sports complex built here in KTU to help the development of sports. This initiative seeks to make KTU a sports development hub where myriad sports talent from this school will be exported to and from the country and also to feed our national teams.

myriad sports talent from this school will be exported to and from the country and also to feed our national teams.

How do we intend to enroll this? This is a long term project which is expected to be completed in a two calendar year in phases. The first phase (I) would complete the astro-turf and basketball court in 12months and the other sporting disciplines in the latter months of the expected period of phase II. We intend to secure sponsorship by trading on the corporate social responsibilities from partnered banks of the SRC. Again, the Team has out-sourced its links to engage companies like Coca-Cola bottling company, Mc Dan Shipping company, GNPC etc. to render a social responsibility service to absorb part of the funds. We will therefore use various means of generating funds with assets of the SRC to fund the project in order to lay off pressure on the SRC coffers.

We deem-it-fit to work earnestly to see this initiative manifest to help develop sportsmen of KTU, commitment to the PEASE policy is an evidence of we being serious about developing systems to help the people of KTU. Thank you.
