Moribund: Revive Ebonyi Angels Football Club, Other Sporting Activities -SWAN Urges Gov. Nwifuru.

The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria, SWAN, Ebonyi State chapter has called on governor Francis Nwifuru to revive the State owned football club ‘Ebonyi Angels’ and other Sporting activities that have gone moribund in the state.

The Chairman of SWAN in Ebonyi State, Nnaji, Emmanuel Anike, made this known in an interview with journalists.

Nnaji Emmanuel said the Ebonyi Angel and  Sporting activities received little or no attention during the previous under Governor Martin Elechi and Governor David Umahi’s administration which has hampered the growth of Sports in Ebonyi State.

He maintained that sports is a booming business which should not be overlooked by government at all levels, mostly with the need to meaningfully engage youths.

Nnaji called on banks and other companies and all well meaning Ebonyians both home and in the diaspora to support Nwifuru’s administration in the area of sports.

He urged the governor, Nwifuru and other prominent stakeholders in the state to sponsor sporting activities and competitions in Ebonyi State.

The Chairman, Nnaji noted further that sports should receive the needed attention just like Human Capital Development is doing now in Ebonyi State.

He also called on Principals and head teachers in Ebonyi State to ensure that they have a formidable sports structure in their schools, as education and sports goes hand-in-hand.
