Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has urged the management of the Youth Resource Centres across the country to imbibe a culture of proper use and maintenance of the facilities.
During an inspection of ongoing works at the Wa Youth Resource Centre on Wednesday, Dr Bawumia expressed satisfaction at the progress of works so far and challenged the contractor to meet the proposed completion date.
According to the contractor, Phase One of the project is complete, while Phase Two is 98% complete.

“The facility is very important for Ghana, especially the people of the Upper West Region and Wa. It is a multi-purpose facility, so hopefully, it will help unearth talents in the many sporting disciplines and provide opportunities for their development. It will also help channel youthful energies to good use,” Vice President Bawumia emphasized.
The Vice President also recalled that this year's Independence Day Celebration was held at the Resource Centre in Adaklu, Volta Region, and emphasized the government's commitment to ensuring that the other centres are also completed.
“I am very impressed so far by what I have seen. I have been told by the contractor that in a couple of months, works will be completed,” Vice President Bawumia added.
The Vice President, who was on a day's visit to the Upper West Region, was accompanied by the Regional Minister, Hafiz Bin Salih, and other government officials.
