Board Chairman of Accra based club Hearts of Oak has shed light on the clubs Pobiman Academy Project

According to him, Turkish firm Prefabex Construction is expected to start work on the modern facility next week.

This news will send happy vibes through the Phobia fraternity, who have long been on the lookout for the project to commence after so many stop and starts.

”We have signed a contract with a Turkish company, Prefabex to build the structures for the Pobiman project. Prefabex are building the structures in Turkey and a local contractor has been tasked for the foundation under the Turkish company’s supervision. Works at the Pobiman Academy Project will commence next week. We will start digging the ground next week”.

The Pobiman Project when completed will accommodate the following, Staff Residence, Senior Housing Unit, GYM, Training Centers (Pitches), Laundry, Swimming Pool, Lockers, Toilet Facilities, Kitchen and Dining Hall.

The 18 Ghana Premier League clubs have resoundingly chosen their three representatives that will form a five-member committee.

The aim of this about to be set up committee will be to advise the Executive Council of the Ghana Premier League (GPL), autonomous league.

The three include Togbe Afede XIV, Board Chairman of Accra Hearts of Oak, Mr. Denali Seneya, Chief Executive Officer of Inter Allies, and John Ansah of Ebusua Dwarfs.

This committee comes in force after the Football Association (GFA) decided to make the GPL autonomous hence the need for the creation of a committee to oversee the new line of action.

Mr. Kurt E.S Okraku, President of GFA in a Facebook post wrote, “Yesterday, I attended a meeting of all the 18 Premier League clubs where I affirmed the desire of the council to have an independently managed Ghana Premier league.

“It is a promise we made to our clubs, and it is a promise we intend to fulfill. Happily, the meeting also decided and choose three of our own members; Togbe Afede XIV Board Chairman of Hearts of Oak, Denali Seneya, CEO of Inter Allies and Brother John Ansah of Cape Coast Ebusua Dwarfs to serve on a proposed five-man team to work on the modalities for an independently managed GPL.

“They will be joined by a yet to be named two reps from the FA. I really wish the team well.”

The ExCo of the GFA will also have to name their two representatives to complement the five-member committee.

The bid to make the Premier League autonomous has been a long harbored dream under previous administrations, hopefully, the Mr. Okraku led era will make this dream a reality.
