The National Investment Bank (NIB) has donated GH¢100,000 to the Ghana Sports Fund in a move aimed at supporting sports development across the country.
The cheque was presented by Mrs Esther Agyemang Prempeh, Acting Chief Client Experience and Corporate Communications Officer, on behalf of the bank’s management.
Mrs Agyemang said the bank recognises the important role sport plays in national development and saw the contribution as a meaningful step towards strengthening the sector.
“We appreciate the role of sports in the development of the country and deemed it necessary to support the fund for sports development in Ghana,” she said.
The donation was received by Dr David Kofi Mawuvi Wuaku, Administrator of the Ghana Sports Fund, and Prof Korye Anim-Wright, Chairperson of the Support Fund Board.
Dr Wuaku described NIB as the first institution to contribute to the newly established fund and expressed gratitude to the bank’s board and management.
He said the fund would be used to promote and finance sports development nationwide, with a focus on athlete welfare, infrastructure improvement and grassroots programmes.
The Minister for Sports and Recreation, Hon Kofi Adams, also welcomed the contribution, describing it as timely support at a critical moment.
“Funding is the biggest challenge facing Ghana sports, and with this donation the sports fund can start its operations,” he said.
He assured the bank that the money would be used transparently and for its intended purpose.
“Every amount received will be used for the purpose for which the fund is being created,” he added.
Several senior officials from the Ministry and representatives of the bank attended the ceremony, signalling what authorities hope will be the beginning of broader corporate support for Ghanaian sport.
The donation comes as stakeholders continue to call for sustainable financing to strengthen infrastructure, nurture young talent and enhance Ghana’s competitiveness on the international stage.
