The Sports Ministry has requested the National Paralympic Committee to nominate a representative to serve on the 2023 African Games, Local Organising Committee (LOC).

This comes after the NPC filed a petition to the presidency following the omission of their rep in the newly inaugurated African Games Committee.

Sports Minister Isaac Kwame Asiamah has responded to this in a statement to the chairman of the National Paralympic Committee.
