Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, the Executive Governor of Enugu State, has promised to deliver a memorable experience for athletes and spectators alike when the state hosts the 23rd National Sports Festival next year.
Mbah made this pledge on Tuesday when he received the Hosting Rights Award Letter from the Director General of the National Sports Commission, Bukola Olopade.
The Enugu state Governor expressed gratitude to the National Sports Commission for presenting the State with the official hosting letter. He said it represented a proud moment for the people of Enugu State.
“Enugu State has a rich sporting history that dates back to the pre-independence era,” the Governor said.
“Beyond being a commercial hub of our nation, we have woven ourselves into the fabric of sports excellence.
‘We are fully prepared to host the National Sports Festival and have already embarked on several projects to ensure our facilities meet world-class standards.”
“The Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, along with other key facilities, will be ready to deliver a memorable experience for athletes and spectators alike,” the Governor added.
The National Sports Festival is returning to the Coal City for the first time in 28 years.
