Dr. Eric Opoku-Antwi of University of Cape Coast’s (UCC) Department of Sports Science has expressed his excitement about the chance for UCC to partner the International Basketball University (IBU) in the near future.
He expressed this in his speech at the Ghana Basketball Association (GBBA)-Lithuania Basketball Federation (LBF) meeting with UCC and members from the Central Regional Basketball Association earlier today.
With IBU West African Director Richard Borsah explaining the willingness of his outfit for a partnership via a satellite campus, Dr. Opoku-Antwi did same stating:
“I think part of our programs also have the content of basketball, science of coaching and it would be very great to have their University partnering us. One of the things we have been talking about over a long period of time is actually having certification course and it would another great platform for UCC to be able to give out certification in partnership with them-IBU-for basketball coaches in the form of Diploma, Undergrad or even Masters. We are really interested in working with them.”
Professor Desmond Omane Acheampong, Dr. Ocansey and Madam Ajubi-Kwakye represented UCC at the meeting while Jonas Vainauskas represented LBF and GBBA Vice President Alex Kukula represented the Association.
