Kurt Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), urged inmates of the Nsawam Medium Security Prison that "life beyond prison walls is still possible" during a special outreach programme. Mr. Okraku noted that the future is brighter for all inmates and told them, "Do not consider your stay here as a permanent one." He added, "Be positive, be hopeful, that one day soon, and I mean very, very soon, you would also be out of here and continue your normal lives."
The event was organised by the KN Foundation, the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG), the Ghana Football Association and the Joana Gyan Cudjoe Foundation. The event, spearheaded by former Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi and supported by Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, Joana Gyan Cudjoe, included donations, health screening, entertainment and a friendly football match with inmates. Football legends including Abedi Ayew Pele, Anthony Baffoe, Yussif Chibsah, Augustine Ahinful, David Accam, Mohammed Gargo, Abdul Majeed Waris and Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu were present. Also in attendance were Mohammed Jiji Alifoe, John Ansah, Abdul Karim Zito and Abdul Salam Yakubu.
The outreach programme featured health screening exercises, National Health Insurance Scheme registration and renewals, musical performances and the donation of food items and sporting equipment to inmates. Among the items donated were bags of rice, cartons of bottled water, footballs, jerseys, bibs and tracksuits. Each of the prison's eight blocks received jerseys and footballs, while additional sporting equipment was presented to the prison's main football team.
