“To be honest, I’m very disappointed because you guys have had excellent sprinters back in the days. I remember competing against Aziz Zakari. He was one of those athletes I was scared of whenever I go to the track. He was one of the great sprinters," he told Dan Kwaku Yeboah TV.

He also stated that the west African country needed to improve in terms of its athletics facilities.

"I remember Ghana have had great athletes like Zakari but I’m very disappointed coming here and not seeing professional tracks. What if I wanted to go for a workout?" he added.
