Bawumia To Initiate Operation Olympics Glory Targeted At Ghana Winning More Medals At 2028 Olympics

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has set his sight on Olympic glory for Ghana at the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles, United States, in 2028.

In spite of the nation's huge potentials in various Sporting disciplines, Ghana has relatively underperformed at the Olympics, winning only 5 medals in history.

The nation also managed to grab one medal at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago which was under her 4th Republic.

To stem this tide for Ghana to use her huge Sports potentials, Dr. Bawumia has announced thorough development plans and sustainable funding to improve this sector.

Speaking at the launch of the NPP Manifesto in Takoradi on Sunday, Dr. Bawumia said his government will "start an ‘Operation Olympics Glory’ programme by dedicating resources towards the preparation and readiness of athletes to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, USA”.

As part of the “Operation Olympics Glory” programme, he will target specific Sports for medals.

Dr. Bawumia further said there will be establishment of a Ghana School Sports Secretariat as a special purpose vehicle to develop Sports from the grass root in the various schools.

This, he noted, will be achieved through cooperationwith stakeholders such as the Ghana Education Service and the Sports federations.
