Gov’t urged to invest in women’s sports
Chief Inspector of Schools in the Krachi West municipality of the Oti Region has called on the government to invest in women’s sports.
Mr. Ofori said government should make funds available to motivate more women to venture into sports.

At the end of the competition, Krachi SHS’s female team beat Kaakye Community Technical Institute 1-0 in a dramatic encounter.
The Chief Inspector of Schools also urged the government to prioritize the provision of sporting facilities and equipment, stating that inter-schools and colleges sporting festivals would offer opportunities for young talented female athletes to excel.
