Accra, March 1, GNA - Members of the Ghana Cycling Association (GCA)
have been advised to avoid petty squabbles and divisions since such
negative acts could destroy the Association's efforts at developing
cycling in the country.
"A divided house can easily be dismantled, but a united house
can't be destroyed," Prince Ernest Oduro-Mensah, Chief Executive
Officer of the National Sports Council (NSC) said when the National
Cycling team paid a courtesy call on him at his office in Accra.
Prince Oduro-Mensah, who is a former Member of Parliament
for Techiman South, further charged members of the team, as well its
officials to as a matter of urgency to forge ahead with unity so as to
form a formidable national team capable of outclassing their
international opponents.
"Nothing can stop us from success, when peace, unity and
harmony prevails in NSC," the Chief Executive pointed out.
Prince Oduro-Mensah challenged the cyclists to train hard in
order to make enough impact at international competitions, adding that
he was going to take a critical look at the possibility of including
the National Cycling team in Ghana's contingent for this year's
All-Africa Games in Algiers, Algeria.
The Cycling team and officials led by the Association's
Chairman, Lawyer Sahnoon Mohammed, pledged to adhere to the words of
wisdom by the CEO.
They later presented a trophy to the CEO which the team won at a
490-km Reconciliation Championship in Cote d'Ivoire, on February 24,
2007.
The competition formed part of the Association's efforts at
preparing the team for the All Africa Games.
