“I also congratulate Bibiani Goldstars FC on their historic qualification from Zone Two of the Division One League to the Premiership,” Dr. Bawumia added.
Meanwhile, Hearts’ latest league triumph is the club’s first in over a decade, having last won the title in 2009.
The Phobians have endured heartbreak after heartbreak but the arrival of Boadu in the second round of the 2020-21 season turned things around.
The young coach has succeeded in transforming the team from a fragile side to world beaters within the space of four months.
