Ogba heads Eighth National Youth Games’ LOC

The Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, yesterday, constituted a seven-member Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the Eighth National Youth Games, slated for September 10-20, in Asaba.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Directors of Sports in Nigeria, Utobo Emmanuel, who is also the Director of Sports in Ebonyi State, has praised Governor Oborevwori for ensuring the eighth edition of the Games holds as scheduled, just as he urged all state governors across the federation to release funds early for their athletes to compete at the Games.
 
The Guardian recalls that the National Youth Games started in 2013 as an idea conceived by the Federal Government to find and develop youthful talent by allowing them to thrive in a variety of sports disciplines. Team Delta has won all past editions of the National Youth Games.
