The National Democratic Congress' promise to pay players of the Ghana Premier League an average salary of ¢1,500 per month has been backed by Yusif Chibsah.

According to Chibsah, who is the Professional Football Association, Ghana (PFAG) spokesperson, NDC can fulfil the promise if they win the December 7 elections.

“It is doable because football is being run on a business module now.

"In Nigeria, it is the states that take care of the teams. It’s a whole discussion on its own but we need to start from somewhere. It will help the football industry,” Chibsah told Hot FM.

The promise by the main opposition party was revealed by their Director of Communications, Sammy Gyamfi this week.

“The NDC will establish a sports development fund. The government will furnish the account with enough money and also generate some from corporate bodies,” he told Kumasi FM.“

Every club that plays in the Premier League will be supported with funds to settle player salaries. An average money of GH ¢1,500.00 will be paid to each player”.
