Immediate past Ghana Basketball Association (GBBA) President David Addo-Ashong has pointed out the recently constructed GBBA top hierarchy’s “energy” is what basketball in Ghana needs.
He made this comment during his speech at the GBBA Dinner Gala held on Friday, December 17 at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra. (Click highlighted text to view story)
The well attended event had representatives from Government sports agencies, members of corporate Ghana, basketball stakeholders including Coaches, Retired Players and Referees present.
In his remarks before he was awarded with a plaque for his longstanding service to basketball in the West African nation, Addo-Ashong was quick to spot the vibrancy in the new GBBA and acknowledged it is what the sport needs to develop further.
After serving the Association as President from 2010 to November 2021, Addo-Ashong was honoured with a plaque as did the man he replaced as GBBA Head Peter Kpordugbe.
New GBBA President Ato Van-Ess signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Lithuanian based International Basketball University (IBU) to run developmental programs for young players and Coaches.
