Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Professor Peter Twumasi, has been removed from his position.
The reason for his dismissal is not yet clear, but Mr. Dodzie Numekevor has been named the Acting Director General of the NSA.
Professor Twumasi faced mounting criticism for his management of various state stadiums, including the Accra Sports Stadium, which was closed mid-season to host musical events, displacing several clubs, including Hearts of Oak, Accra Lions, and Great Olympics.
In his place, Mr. Dodzie Numekevor has been appointed as the Acting Director General of the Authority.
The appointment of Dodzie Numekevor was formalized by Secretary to President Nana Bediatuo Asante on February 26, 2024, with a stipulation that he must accept the appointment within 14 days.
Prof. Twumasi assumed the role of Director General on December 10, 2019, succeeding Robert Sarfo Mensah, who resigned amidst allegations stemming from the ‘number 12’ exposé by Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Tiger Eye PI.
Throughout his tenure, Prof. Twumasi has been under scrutiny for his management of Ghana’s various stadiums, prompting longstanding calls from football fans for his removal.
