The New Suame Division Park in the Suame Municipality of Ashanti is to be transformed into a synthetic pitch, popularly called “astro turf.”
It was initiated by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Suame Constituency, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, and sponsored by the Ghana Gas Company and two others.
Expected to be completed in six months, the project is being undertaken by a local contractor, Best Limited.
At the sod cutting ceremony on Sunday, Dr Ben K.D. Asante, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana Gas, stressed their determination to continue to be supportive of national projects.
Mr Mensah-Bonsu said the project was dear to his heart to ensure the development of football and other sports-related disciplines.
He commended Ghana Gas Company for responding positively to the request made for the construction of the project.
According to Mr Mensah-Bonsu, government would continue to be keen on developmental projects in the constituency as he mentioned the construction of roads among the lots.
