Sports Minister Isaac Asiamah has officially given the green light for renovation works to begin at the Azumah Nelson Sports complex in Kaneshie.
The total renovation cost is a staggering GH¢ 18 million ($4 million) and is expected to be completed in 16 months.
Originally known as the Kaneshie Sports Complex, the facility, has been in a very deplorable state and has seen very little maintenance by the state since it was built in the 1970s.
The poor state of the stadium, which has a capacity of 10,000 spectators, has led to many sports fanatics asking Ghanaian boxing legend Azumah Nelson to get his name off the edifice but that may not be necessary anymore as renovation works have commenced.
