Pres Mahama applauds Police achievements in sports
PRESIDENT John Dramani Mahama has expressed delight at the achievements of the Ghana Police Service Sports Directorate, commending its professionalism and the quality of talent nurtured.
The recognition, he emphasised, reinforced the growing visibility of the Sports Directorate as a strategic pillar in strengthening institutional pride and projecting the service positively to the public.
President Mahama made the remarks during an exhibition held on the sidelines of the 2025 West Africa Security Social Activity (WASSA) on Thursday at the Police Headquarters in Accra.
WASSA is an annual end-of-year social event organised by the security agencies to take stock of the year’s activities, promote social interaction and restrategise for the years ahead.
The Sports Directorate’s achievements were highlighted at the WASSA exhibition, which saw the impressive display of the various trophies, medals, and awards received over the years through local and international competitive participation.
These, including the recent honours from the Evans Atta Mills Memorial Tournament, not only celebrated sporting excellence but also showcased the leadership vision driving the Directorate’s transformation, capacity building and improved performance across multiple sporting disciplines.
President Mahama, Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, the Inspector-General of Police, members of the Police Management Board, and other high ranking dignitaries were led through the exhibition by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Bernice Timbilla, the Director of Sports.
ASP Timbilla briefed the President on the expanding role of sports within the service, emphasising its contribution to discipline, wellness, teamwork and national representation through Police athletes who continue to excel at national and continental levels.
The programme also featured performances by celebrated Ghanaian musicians, including Daughters of Glorious Jesus, Tagoe Sisters, Kojo Antwi, Piesie Esther, Obaapa Christy and Akosua Agyapong.
