Olla ‘Gas Man’ Williams congratulates new GOC President Akpokavie

Mr. Emmanuel Olla Williams aka ‘Gas Man’ has congratulated the President of the Ghana Olympic Committee, Lawyer Richard Akpokavie and the new board to steer affairs of the Olympic Movement in Ghana. He was at the Accra International Conference Center last Saturday to offer morale and spiritual support to the candidates and delegates.

Williams who was youth coordinator of the GOC during the first term of former President Ben Nunoo Mensah (2017 -2021) said the idea of organising a retreat for all Federation Presidents and supporting athletes to get their voices heard as well as empowering women are in the right direction, while solving disputes within the sporting family and not going to court is another laudable ideal to create peace and unity among sports leaders.

Mr. Olla Williams who is the President of Ghana Tug of War Association advised the new GOC President to remain affable and be transparent.

He is also Ghana Representative of the Pillow Fighting Championships which is very entertaining and CEO of Dreamland Sports Plus/ One on One Foundation, organizers of the SHS sanitation and sports programmes.

He said GAS means Ghana Sports Ambassador and he is playing that role unofficially but effectively with students in second cycle and tertiary institutions.
