Delta will continue to lead sports in Nigeria- Oborevwori

The Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has said Delta will continue to lead the way for sports development in Nigeria.

The governor made the declaration on Thursday in his welcome speech at the opening ceremony of the ongoing National Youth Games in Asaba.

He said the aim of hosting the youth games is to discover young athletes to replace ageing ones.

The governor added that as the home of sports in Nigeria, Delta State will continue to lead the way.

“Nigeria’s performances at major international sporting events are on the decline. It may not be the problem of the Sports Minister. We need to tackle the issue together.

“I expect old records to be broken and new ones set in this year’s National Youth Games. Delta is proud to partner with the Federal Ministry of Sports in hosting this Games to reposition our sports.

“There is a good result from hosting these games because, you can see this last Olympics in Paris, our daughter, Favour Ofili did very well even though she did not win a medal. She is a product of the Games.

“So, in this year’s games, we are looking for a talent better than Ofili. I assure our people that this year will be better than last year,” Oborevwori said.

Urging the young athletes to compete fairly, he said “You are on your way to winning medals for Nigeria at the Olympics Games.”
