We are all aware that our mother federation for athletics does not have sponsor when it comes to the warfare of national athletes for organising and during competitions. All expenses are paid by the Ghana Athletics Association both local and international. Just a few weeks ago we all witnessed the brouhaha about the World Athletics Relay Championships in Silesia, Poland. Thanks to all those who supported the athletes to reach these far and they proved to the whole world that if we are getting the required preparations, resources, funds and nurturing of athletes we can produce world class athletes in few years.

The making of champions is scheduled on Saturday 22^nd May, 2021. This invitational competition will take place at the Yaba College of Technology (YabaTech) Sports Complex in Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa.
