The award was being received by his able former coach on behalf of him, Coach Elorm Amenakpor made a brief statement last year by saying “awards can be won through determination and perseverance, he also added to it that, we have a lot of athletes out there simply because much attention has not been given to track and field, if we want to talk about medals, then I think, we need to give a lot of attention to track and field when you go to Ashanti region, Central and Greater Accra region, these are the heart of athletics thank you”.
