During the launch, the Vice President said that the current administration was working hard to bring development to every area of the nation, even though it occasionally seemed to move more slowly than anticipated. He added that the needs of the young were central to the government's objectives.
The Chief of Tumu, Kuoro Richard Babini Kanton IV, praised the initiative as important and stated that it would allow young people to develop their sporting abilities and let them spend their free time wisely away from social vices.
According to Mr Stephen Donkor, Senior Manager for Community Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility at Ghana Gas, the astroturf pitch is one of the many ways the company will want to support the development of northern Ghana. He pleaded with the Municipal Chief Executive to oversee the project to ensure it was completed on schedule.
