The Director General of the NDPC, Dr Nii Moi Thompson, said at a day’s seminar for the National House of Chiefs in Kumasi.
The seminar was to obtain the buy-in of the chiefs and traditional leaders on how to implements Ghana’s longest Developmental Plan.
The World Cup proposal is yet to be made official to players in the industry, but Dr Thompson said once the framework was adopted by the country, it would be binding on successive governments.
