Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif has revealed that construction works at the Sekondi Essipong Stadium have reached the roofing stage.
He is providing this update after videos appeared on social media suggesting that the stadium that hosted the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations has further deteriorated.
The maintains of the stadium over the years has been poor, rendering it unusable by clubs in the area.
Giving an update during a press conference on Wednesday, Mustapha Ussif said, "We have very good news for you on the Essipong Stadium. As we speak, the contractor is roofing a Essipong Stadium.
"We told you from the beginning that work was ongoing. And we all know because some of us, we decided to go and do finance. We are not experts when it comes to construction.
"But the little we know is that while you are doing construction, there is no way the place will look neat until you finish. We told you that they were blasting because a lot of the metals that were used were a bit damaged."
