He also held several meetings with colleague youth and sports ministers from Algeria, Nigeria and Egypt to create the needed opportunities for our teeming youth.

For now, a quadripartite agreement was signed among the ministers focused on these 4 key areas:
Digital Economy, Digital Skills Training, Enterprise Development & Entrepreneurship Training and Youth in Sports.

The agreement will see the youth of these countries enjoy exchange programs, capacity building workshops, skills training among others to equip and enhance growth and development in the youth and sports sectors. This they believe will also go a long way to facilitate development through sports.

All parties in the agreement are expected to present 4 people to develop a framework for the implementation.

The Ministers also revealed their intention to rope in all ministers of youth and sports across Africa to toe the same line. This, they believe is necessary because the continent needs a collective and purposive framework for development.

The Minister was also honoured by ANOCA for his dynamism, commitment and dedication to sports and youth development in Ghana and Africa at large.
