Dr. Emmanuel Owusu-Ansah, former Chief Executive of the National Sports Authority (NSA) has called on the Ministry of Youth and Sports to appoint Magnus Rex Danwuah – Chief Operating Officer of the Ghana 2008 Africa Cup of Nations as the Director-General of the NSA.

He said in an interview that, though Rex Danquah, has been playing a consultancy role for the Ministry of Youth and Sports, he will be the best person to manage affairs of the NSA taking into consideration his track record.

According to Dr. Owusu-Ansah, the former COO of Ghana 2008 is visionary, hardworking and aggressive when it comes to implementation of sports policies and strategies.

The former Chief Executive of the NSA, said the current leadership of NSA is weak and lacks the requisite knowledge to change the dwindling fortunes of the NSA.

Dr. Owusu-Ansah, who resigned recently as the Director of the Sports Directorate of the University of Ghana, said, Rex Danquah, will within two years change the face of the NSA and sports in Ghana.

He urged the Ministry of Youth and Sports to consider offering him the job in the near future since he has the magic wand to turn things around.
