The Organisers of the much anticipated Niger Delta
Sports Festival have added colour to the event’s organisation with the
appointment of festival Ambassadors.
Nwankwo Kanu, Emmanuel Amuneke, Victor Ikpeba and
Blessing Oborodudu are among the strong field of accomplished athletes
appointed as Festival Ambassadors for the sporting event scheduled to open from
April 1-8 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
It was a major step towards accomplishing the
aspirational value of the NDSF as envisioned by the organisers, Dunamis Icon,
consultants to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for the project.
Announcing the Ambassadors, Itiako Ikpokpo, the lead
consultant at Dunamis Icon, said the Festival Ambassadors were picked to
inspire the upcoming athletes.
“What we have done is to take a careful look at past
and present sportsmen and women from the nine mandate states of the NDDC who
can inspire upcoming athletes with their achievements on and off the field”,
Ikpokpo told NDSF Media.
