President of the International KickBoxing Federation (IKF) Point KickBoxing Ghana, Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim together with his able Vice, Mr. Braimah Bature, today November 17th, paid a Courtesy Visit to the Director-General of the National Sports Authority (NSA) Prof. Peter Twumasi.
The visit was to officially introduce themselves to the Director General of NSA by the referral of a Presidential staffer which is to seek assistance on obtaining a certificate as a federation under the Sports Authority.
Although they are registered under the Authority, they are yet to be donated by the NSA.
Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim explained that, the government is contributing to the Federation and the requirement of their certification is due to the fact that, government operates with certificates. In other for government to work with them effectively, they need to present their federation certificate to show their authenticity.
Mr. Braimah Bature explained further that, the main aim of the IKF is to make sure they bring out most of the “ghetto” guys smoking their life out to join KickBoxing because most of them are good fighters and also to unite the KickBoxing front to form one National Team.
He mentioned that, they are hopeful that, in the next Olympic Games, Ghana will announce their presence and participation. Hence, make a big impact especially with those in the “ghettos” with the notion of not being prominent people in society and useful to the nation.
He stated that, IKF is securing a government land around NADMO due to their hardwork and impact.
The President and his able Vice, commended Prof. Twumasi for his resilience and hard work and assured their hope in him to make their ambitions fulfilled.
Prof. Twumasi commended them for their hard work, advised them on how to well to run the federation and urged them to keep on with the good work.
