The Ghana Football Association (GFA) on behalf of the entire football fraternity, has congratulated the newly-appointed Justice of the Supreme Court (JSC) Issifu Omoro Amadu Tanko.

Amadu Tanko JSC was a former Appeals Committee Chairman of the GFA.

"We are profoundly proud, but unsurprised by the achievements and the well-deserved elevation of Justice Issifu Omoro Amadu Tanko," a GFA statement said.

The statement added that as a former Chairman of the GFA Appeals Committee and other judicial bodies of the Football Association, Justice Tanko's contribution to the judicial jurisprudence of the GFA could not be overemphasised.

The GFA wished the Supreme Court Judge Amadu Tanko the very best "as he begins his important journey for the nation."
