The buildup to the 22nd National Sports Festival
reaches a crescendo on Tuesday as Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State named
Nigeria’s former football captain and an African legendary star, Segun
Odegbami, as the Grand Sports Ambassador of Ogun State. Also appointed as
ambassadors are athlete Tobi Amusan and boxing sensation Anthony Joshua.
The appointments were the high points of the
governor’s media meeting with the sports editors of the mainstream media houses
in the country.
Governor Abiodun presented the certificate appointing
Odegbami, whose activities will go beyond the National Sports Festival.
“Permit me to use this opportunity to perform this
ceremony of unveiling Chief Segun Odegbami as our grand sports ambassador.
“The National Sports Festival will come and go, but
we’re already thinking of leveraging on the gains that will come from hosting
the NSF.
