Abia State’s Labour Party Governorship candidate, Dr. Alex Otti, has promised the Nsulu Games Village, which has been neglected by successive governments, if he becomes governor of the state.

Otti, who concluded his tour of Isiala Ngwa Local Council with a visit to the council’s headquarters, said his government would pay adequate attention to sports development and create enabling environment Abia youths need to hone their skills for the good of the state.

Accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Priscilla Chidinma Otti, Otti made some stops at Nsulu and Ntigha, where he addressed the locals and laid down his plans for the people and their local council.

The renowned economist and founder/promoter of Signature Bank Nigeria, told the highly ecstatic crowd that he would resuscitate the Nsulu Games Village, a major sporting facility in the area which had contributed immensely to the development of sports in Nigeria and Abia State in particular.

He also declared his plan to establish a film village in Isiala Ngwa North, as part of his strategic goal to make Abia State a destination of choice for the Nigerian film industry, Nollywood.

“One of the few places I mentioned by name in my manifesto is Nsulu. I said in my manifesto that I will establish a new Nsulu Games Village.

“There is also a second project that I will execute in Nsulu. I am sure you know about Nollywood, maybe you would not remember that Nollywood started from Aba, on Pound Road, before it got to Onitsha and Nnamdi Azikiwe Street in Lagos.

“There is no where in Abia that you have the kind of facility to produce movies. Most of the film makers go to Asaba, Delta State, to shoot their movies. So, what I intend to do is to set up a world class entertainment village
