  • Elvis Opoku reveals he is yet to hold contract renewal talks with Aduana Stars

    Elvis Opoku reveals he is yet to hold contract renewal talks with Aduana Stars

    Aduana Stars midfield gem, Elvis Opoku has revealed that he is yet to open contract extension talks with the club, despite three months left on his current deal. 

    The 27-year old who is an integral member of the ‘Ogya Boys’ believes the outbreak of COVID-19 might have stalled the club’s decision over his future.

    But he hopes a decision could soon be made as he sorts out his future.

    “I have about three months left on my contract with Aduana. They [Aduana Stars] have not had any discussion with me to extend the contract. It may be due to the Coronavirus or they are still preparing something,” he told Hello FM.

    “It could also be that my services are not needed,” he added.

    “You know, our system here isn’t like the Europeans who sometimes discusses extensions when the player has one year or more years left. So, maybe they’re waiting to hold talks with me when I am left with a month. It all depends on them.”

    The 2019/20 Ghana Premier League was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic with the future of a new campaign uncertain.

    Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association have proposed the second week of October as the likely return date for football, but that will be subjected to government approval.

    The next National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will restore quality education in the country, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, Vice Presidential candidate has said.

    A statement signed by Mawuena Trebah, Spokesperson for the running mate and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Thursday said the current state of the education system, under the present government, threatened the future of the country.

    The statement said she gave the assurance while responding to concerns by traditional leaders about the poor state of education infrastructure, during a courtesy call on Naa Alhassan Andani, Paramount Chief of the Tampion Traditional Area of Dagbon in the Northern Region, as part of her campaign tour.

    She said the integrity of a nation’s education system was based on its quality, which should not be compromised for any reason.

    “The next NDC government under President John Mahama will continue with its monumental infrastructural projects that will ensure increased access to quality education while introducing more interventions for the benefit of teachers”.

    “Any country that is interested in the future, will pay attention to the quality development of her children”.

    “Many things would be put right. NDC will instill discipline in our schools again,” she said.

    She assured the chiefs of the area of more education sector projects under the NDC and urged them to help the NDC to regain the power to continue its good works in the region, most of which were abandoned.

    The statement said the NDC Running Mate also paid courtesy calls on the chiefs of Zoggu, Nyong, Tong, Karaga, and Gushegu where the traditional leaders expressed their desire for the NDC to return to power to assist their towns to develop.
