He said, “I must not fail to specially commend the high level of human management skills of the Honourable Minister, Senator John Owan Enoh. Despite the short period that athletes and officials had in camp before proceeding to Accra, the leadership of the ministry ensured that no stone was left unturned in making that the athletes are kept informed about their welfare and every other arrangement.
“Also, the other ministry and team officials were outstanding in carrying out their duties. There was this continuous flow of information from the Minister’s media team such that my colleagues always had a pull to pick from,” he said.
