The Ghana Football Association has officially notified the National Sports Authority of their intention to play next month’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea in Tamale.

GFA officials had toured facilities in the Northern Regional capital in recent weeks before arriving at the decision to play the game there.

The decision to play the game in Tamale follows the relative hostile reception accorded the Black Stars team in their opening 2015 AFCON qualifier against Uganda in Kumasi.

The Black Stars had played almost all their matches for the past two years or so in Kumasi due to the massive support the team enjoyed anytime there were in the Ashanti Regional capital.

The GFA had reneged on their earlier policy to spread the Black Stars games across all available venues due to debates over low capacity and a stampede that occurred when Ghana played Lesotho in a World Cup qualifier at the Sekondi Essipong Stadium.

The rotation policy appears to be in full force now and the Ghana FA have accordingly officially written to the National Sports Authority to begin putting logistics in place.

The Black Stars will thus be playing at the Tamale Sports Stadium for the first time since 2007 – where Ghana played Uganda in a friendly – when the stadium was first built ahead of the hosting of the 2008 Nations Cup.

The Tamale East Church of Christ Youth (TECOCY) has presented quantities of food stuffs, foot wear and assorted clothes valued at GH?1,500 to inmates of the Tamale Prison to help alleviate their plight.

The presentation of the items on Monday formed part of the youth’s evangelism in the Northern Region towards winning more souls into the church, and also complemented the government’s efforts at providing for the inmates.

Mr Lawrence Amponsah, President of TECOCY, said the donation also formed part of efforts by the youth to provide for the welfare of the less privileged by letting them feel that they were not socially excluded.

He said prisoners needed support and if some felt that they were being rejected by the society they would never reform, which could make them hardened and convert other to their fold.

He said it was the duty of Christian organisations to assist the socially excluded to enable them to realise their dreams after they had left the prison to be able to contribute to the socio-economic needs and development of the country.

Mr Amponsah said the group also embarked on entrepreneurial skills training for its members in the church and other interested groups outside the church to discover their hidden talents to improve their livelihoods as means of addressing poverty and unemployment.

Assistant Superintendent of Prisons (ASP) Ebenezer Aidoo, who received the items on behalf of the inmates, expressed gratitude for the kind gesture and said the items would be used to alleviate the plight of the inmates.

He said inmates at the prisons were not there to be punished but to be corrected so that they would fit well in society after their prison lives.

ASP Aidoo said the transformation and reformation of the inmates would be incomplete without the gospel being ministered to them, noting that most of the inmates were being engaged in vocational skills to enable them to establish their businesses after serving their term.

The Ghana FA have begun inspecting facilities in Tamale to see whether the Northern Regional capital can host the Black Stars’ 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Guinea.

The GFA is determined to implement its new policy of rotating Black Stars matches across the four standard venues – Accra, Kumasi, Sekondi and Tamale.

The move is catalyzed by the relative hostile reception accorded the Black Stars for their opening 2015 AFCON qualifier against Uganda earlier this month.

The team was hooted at during their both the training sessions and the game which eventually ended in a 1-1 draw in protest of the manner in which they crashed out of the 2014 World Cup.

Influential players of the Black Stars are rumoured to have told the Ghana FA they will prefer to play at venues where they will be readily received and loved.

Tamale – which has not hosted a Black Stars match since 2007 when Ghana played in a friendly match ahead of the 2008 AFCON – is thus seen as an ideal venue.

The Northern Regional capital have been offering massive support whenever the junior national teams play there and are thus expected to give a heightened version when the Black Stars come to town.

GFA’s Deputy General Secretary in charge of International Competitions, Alex Asante and Executive Committee member Adam Munkaila toured facilities at the Tamale Sports Stadium.

They later visited the Getfund Hotel around the University of Development Studies area to check on rates and standards of accommodation facilities.

The inspection team are expected to present a report on their findings in Tamale to the Ghana FA before a firm decision is taken.

Ghana will play Guinea first away in the 2015 AFCON qualifier next month – expected to be played in Casablanca – before returning home to play the return leg.

128 Excess Teachers Redeployed

The Tamale Metropolitan Directorate of Education has redeployed 128 excess teachers serving in schools in the Metropolis to 22 districts where their services are required in the Northern Region.

wpid-teachers-oct7-2013.jpgAlhaji Mohammed Abdul-Rahman Sanni, Tamale Metropolitan Director of Education, who announced this at a meeting in Tamale, said other affected teachers who already had gotten the assurances from the districts to work there would be posted to those areas.

The meeting, organised by Net Organisation for Youth Empowerment and Development (NOYED-Ghana), was to discuss the on-going teacher redeployment and rationalization exercise in the Metropolis and its implications on education delivery.

Alhaji Abdul Hanan said the exercise formed part of the on-going nationwide teacher redeployment and rationalization to ensure equitable distribution of teachers.

He said a head count of teachers in the Tamale Metropolis revealed that whiles some schools were understaffed by a total of 122 workers; others were overstaffed by a total of 579 workers.

He said the overstaffing included Arabic instructors, teaching and non-teaching staff, at both basic and senior high schools and workers in various offices of education in the Metropolis.

He said all unit managers were tasked to serve all affected teachers and workers with redeployment notices as well as to counsel them to prepare for the exercise.

He said when the exercise was completed it would make teachers improve upon their performances as well decongest the teacher population in the Metropolis.

Mr Alhassan Abdulai Iddi, Director of NOYED-Ghana, said NOYED-Ghana was working on a project dubbed: “Improving Teacher Capacity for Better Delivery, which sought to advocate and demand effective deployment and redeployment of teachers to where their services were needed.

Mr Iddi said effective teacher deployment and redeployment coupled with increased supervision would greatly improve the standard of education in the communities.
