Acting President of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) Roger Barnor held his first meeting with board members and stakeholders on Thursday July 2, 2025.
The meeting was to solicit the views of members regarding the steps to take to thrash out issues with the National Sports Authority (NSA) and, by extension, the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.
It is the belief of the board that in progressing with the GBA agenda, it was important to gain clearance from the NSA and assure it of our ability to deal with the issues at stake.
Gladly, the majority of board members were in attendance as well as members across the various groupings in the GBA.
Mr Andy Nortey of the Ghanaian Times who is the board’s choice to replace former PRO Hon. Amin Lamptey was in attendance.
According to Mr. Barnor, a meeting with the National Sports Authority (NSA) has been scheduled to draw a road map to their Congress and Elections.
Meanwhile, the meeting considered July 19 as the date for an Extraordinary Congress to discuss the Elective Congress.
Throughout the session, the phrase ‘unity and peace’ resonated with all members hoping that peace and tranquillity would prevail to execute the plans of the Authority.
“It is our prayer and hope that the breeze of goodwill enjoyed now would spread among the boxing community so that together, the GBA would prosecute its agenda” Roger Barnor expressed.
