“There is a delegation currently in Abu Dhabi trying to get a camping facility for the national team, so there is no way we would have come up with a budget once that is not even sorted yet,” Adjei-Baah said.
“Once everything is concluded and is appropriate, we would communicate to the good people of Ghana how much budget has been presented or approved,” it added.
The Black Stars team are expected to start their preparation in mid-May where they will embark for a training camp in the UAE.
Ghana have been drawn in Group F together with defending Champions Cameroon, Benin and Guinea Bissau.
The tournament takes place in six stadiums across Egypt between 21 June and 19 July.
