Chinese Construction firm, Shanghai Construction Company, has presented a variety of spare parts to the National Sports Council (NSC) to ensure an effective maintenance of the Sekondi and Tamale stadia which it built prior to Ghana 2008.
This follows the end of the company’s operations and upkeep of the stadium and subsequent handing over of the facilities to the National Sports Council which has the sole responsibility of managing the four new stadia.
According to the Project Manager of the Company, Mr Mark Shin, as a responsible and respected construction company it tried as much as possible to create the environment for the smooth running of the stadium before handing it over to the NSC officials finally.
He said as a result it had manufactured many components which could be used to replace faulty ones.
The Project Manager said they had prepared enough materials for repair works on the stadium, and expressed the hope that they would go a long way to keep the structure in good shape.
The items were mainly electronic parts for the scoreboard, as well as other fixtures and fittings for the various gadgets at the stadium.
The Chief Executive of the National Sports Council, Mr Prince Oduro-Mensah, commended the company for transferring their rich knowledge and providing spare parts to ensure that the nation did not have to run to them at any given time for the necessary materials.
He said even though the stadium and the spare parts had been handed over to the Council, it would take great effort to maintain the facilities, and therefore urged the Chinese to be on the alert since the authories would be calling on them when need be.
"We would constantly need your advice and expertise since you are the contractors, to ensure that the strong bond between us is still in place," he said.
