GFA offers apology to nation; promises lasting reforms

In a statement rendering its unqualified apology, the FA promised "lasting reforms" to restore confidence in football.

As such, a five member committee has been formed to draw up a programme for a lasting reform.

The committee, comprising  Messrs Kweku Eyiah (Leader), Benjamin Nab Eyison, Kurt Okraku (Spokesperson), Isaac Addo and Samuel Opoku Nti, has also been tasked to meet government after it threatened to dissolve the association.

"That the GFA wishes to assure the general public that it shall take all legitimate steps to restore confidence and trust in the beautiful game. In this respect as a first step, the GFA wishes to offer its sincerest and unconditional apologies to the entire nation and all our stake holders," a statement by the General Secretary of the GFA, Isaac Addo, said.
