‘I am particularly impressed with Rite Multimedia and what they are doing for basketball in the country and at the appropriate time government will acknowledge them in the basketball history’ Pelpuo told Basketballghana.
‘It is amazing and interesting to see an individual doing this kind of projects and what Mr. Yaw Sakyi is doing for Ghana Basketball is wonderful and we will give him all the support to continue in that positive direction.
‘What I can also say is that these players should continue to train hard and be good ambassadors for this nation.’
