Owner and Life Patron of Asante Kotoko Sporting Club (SC), Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has tasked the club’s newly formed board to make the club a viable and self-sustaining economic entity.
A statement from Manhyia which is the seat of the Asantehene of Asanteman on Thursday confirmed the formation of a 9-member board to lead the club.
Club Executive Chairman Dr. Kwame Kyei has been made chairman of the new board with Board Chairman for the Ghana Commercial Bank, Jude Arthur as his deputy.
According to the statement, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II expects the board to give the club a good direction that will see it becoming a viable and self-sustaining economic entity.
