Former deputy Sports Minister, Nii Nortey Dua, has asked the newly-nominated Sports Minister, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye to be tactful and very cautious in his dealings at the Ministry.<\/p>\n
Vanderpuye\u2019s nomination was announced on Monday in a statement from the Flagstaff House and if he gets Parliamentary approval, he becomes the 8th Sports Minister since 2009.<\/p>\n
The former deputy sports minister believes Vanderpuye, who was his colleague at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation some years ago, must be very alert in his dealings at the Ministry.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that working in a Ministry requires working with people and Vanderpuye will encounter that so he must be very careful in his actions,\u201d said Nii Nortey Dua in an interview with Citi Sports<\/strong> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \u201cHe must keep his ears to the ground because the Ministry has the most exposure in the public space. Every aspect of media, be it print or electronic, has a sports column and the domain has so many parts.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe should be careful in dealing with issues. He should not be hasty in taking decisions but he must not also waste time in deciding matters.\u201d<\/p>\n Is Nii Lante Vanderpuye fit for the job? <\/strong><\/p>\n The former sports minister told Citi Sports<\/strong> that he believed Nii Lante Vanderpuye was capable of succeeding at the Ministry because of his knowledge of the domain.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel he has fair knowledge of sports and what is happening in the domain. In addition, his age will strike a good chord with young people and that will help him bring them into the scheme of things.\u201d<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Nathan Quao\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former deputy Sports Minister, Nii Nortey Dua, has asked the newly-nominated Sports Minister, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye to be tactful and very cautious in his dealings at the Ministry.
