Posted : 15 April 2025

Delta State athletes who participated in the Asaba 2022 National Sports Festival have started receiving the long-awaited cash rewards, following the fulfillment of the pledge made by the state government.


The Director of Public Relations of the Delta State Sports Commission, Asaba, Franka Okonma, confirmed that the payment, which serves as a major morale booster, was authorized by the Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, Onoriode Oborevwori. He lauded Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for redeeming the outstanding financial commitment, describing it as timely and a promise fulfilled.


The Sports Commission Chairman described the payment as a demonstration of Governor Oborevwori’s unwavering support for sports development in the state.


He noted that the gesture reflected the governor’s “MORE Agenda,” which prioritizes meaningful development, opportunities for all, and enhanced welfare for the people of Delta State, including athletes.


“This payment is a clear testimony of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s love for sports and his determination to ensure athletes are well cared for.


"Our sportsmen and sportswomen can now attest to the fact that this administration is committed to their welfare and future.”


He further reassured athletes that better days lie ahead under the leadership of Oborevwori, whose plans for sports development include improved facilities, training opportunities, and timely incentives for outstanding performances.


Delta State finished as champions of the Asaba 2022 National Sports Festival, and this gesture reinforces the state's position as a leading force in Nigerian sports.


The athletes, many of whom had waited patiently for the fulfillment of the promise, have expressed gratitude to the governor for honoring his word and motivating them for future competitions.


They affirmed their commitment to maintaining the state's leading position in Nigerian sports, stating that as defending champions of the National Sports Festival, they would work assiduously to ensure they retain their title at the forthcoming 2024 NSF in Abeokuta, Ogun State, next month.
