The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Athletics Association, Bawah Fuseini, says media reports that some Ghanaian athletes have been denied visas to the Commonwealth Games 2022 are ‘false’ and should be ‘ignored.’ “Let me state this categorically clear; no Ghanaian athlete was or has been denied any visa,” Bawah told Joy Sports.
