Western Regional Minister Joseph Nelson expressed contentment with the ongoing rehabilitation of the Sekondi Sports Stadium. He urged for a sustainable plan to maintain the facility and prevent it from deteriorating once the project is finished. Upon visiting the site at Essipun, Nelson pointed out that completing the rehabilitation would only address part of the issue, and called for a clear strategy from the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation to generate revenue and ensure regular upkeep of the stadium.
He noted that the stadium's condition was worse than previously reported, having undergone extensive work on seating arrangements. However, Nelson urged the authorities to implement long-term management strategies to avoid the stadium becoming idle and deteriorating again. He also voiced concerns about the lack of a major professional football club using the facility, which could hinder its sustainability.
Nelson suggested alternative sporting and commercial activities to generate revenue and support maintenance efforts. He acknowledged that the decline of traditional Sekondi-based clubs might reduce the number of matches hosted at the stadium, but emphasized that the extensive investment in rehabilitation should prevent it from remaining unused after completion.
