Ghanaweb.com reports that Benson Tongo Baba, president of the Ghana Olympic Committee, told reporters “the idea might sound funny now, but it is one of the systematic approaches adopted by the nation to ensure the development of sports in the country”.
According to Baba, Ghana will start the process by first hosting the All Africa Games, with a view to later hosting the Commonwealth Games and then the Olympic Games.
The Ministry of Education and Sports has already written to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and has already received information about the date for the submission of the bids as well as other procedures, reports GamesBids.com
Baba said Ghana might not win the right to host the Games in its first attempt, but said it could only help the country in any subsequent bids.
