The minister, Mustapha Ussif who disclosed this on Thursday, November 18, stated that the adaptation of the policy will see to the investment of portions of winning bonuses of national athletes to secure a better future for them after their service for the country.
Mr. Ussif believes the inability to invest revenues generated at the peak of an athlete’s career has resulted in the deplorable state some find themselves after their service to the country.
“In order to address this challenge, I had a discussion with H.E. the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, when the U-20 Team became the African Champions, on how to present the Presidential Package. He then advised that we invest 50% of their winning bonuses towards their future, ” he added.
