The Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Alabo Boma Iyaye, at the weekend, charged members of the Main Organising Committee (MOC), and Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the Niger Delta Sports Festival (NDSF) to organise a successful festival that will be a benchmark for other regions in the country.

Iyaye, who also is the chairman of the committee, at the inauguration of the MOC inside the commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt, remarked that the NDDC was marking its 25th anniversary with the first intervention in sports, which, he said, is aimed at offering youths in the nine states the platform to engage their minds and curb delinquent behaviours.

“The region is known for providing over 60 per cent of sportsmen and women, who represent Nigeria at international sports events and we have observed a decline in the numbers.
