NDDC charges committee on successful festival, portal closes Friday

The Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Alabo Boma Iyaye, at the weekend, charged members of the Main Organising Committee (MOC), and Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the Niger Delta Sports Festival (NDSF) to organise a successful festival that will be a benchmark for other regions in the country.

Udo-Obong also reminded states of the eligibility rules, emphasising: “The eligibility criteria of being an indigene of a Niger Delta Development Commission state and also under 25 years of age would be enforced.” He disclosed that an exception to the age cap rule is in football and boxing, where professionals and league players are not qualified to register.
  
“We excluded the Para Sports from the age cap, as there is no age limit in those sports. But Olympians who are under 25 years are eligible to participate.”
