Igali says Team Bayelsa are future of sport

Posted : 11 September 2024

The Commissioner for Sports Development in Bayelsa State, Daniel Igali, has conveyed his support to Bayelsa athletes ahead of the Youth Games, which are scheduled to take place from September 9 to 21 in Asaba, Delta State.


In a solidarity message, Daniel Igali stated that the Youth Games provide an opportunity for the state to discover a new generation of champions who will represent Bayelsa and Nigeria at international sporting events.

 


The world and Olympic champion emphasized that the importance of grassroots events that foster developmental growth cannot be overstated, noting that the Youth Games are a positive avenue that should be encouraged.


Igali urged the athletes to be good ambassadors of the state and encouraged them to compete fairly, stressing that at this stage, it is all about getting the basics right.


Despite the Youth Games being a developmental program, Igali also mentioned that the Bayelsa contingents are in Asaba to compete seriously.


"I want to set the record straight: the Youth Games are about more than just winning laurels for us, although we would be happy to win. It is about the future of these young athletes."


"That being said, we are in Asaba to compete just like everyone else, and we hope to give a good account of ourselves."


"The athletes know what Bayelsa State has become in the sports industry, and we encourage them to continue on that winning trajectory."


"I wish them the best of luck in Asaba as they represent the state and our Ijaw culture," Igali said.
