Edo Sports Commission seeks sponsorship for sports festival

The Executive Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission, Amadin Enabulele, has appealed to the United Bank for Africa to sponsor the forthcoming Edo State Sports Festival scheduled to hold from April 21 to May 1, 2025.

Enabulele made the appeal on Monday during a visit to Regional Manager of UBA, Isede Osagie, in Benin City.

In his remarks, Enabulele stated, “We are here to seek your commitment in sponsoring the sports festival. We need your full support, as this event will help discover and nurture young talents in Edo State.”

He stressed the importance of public private partnerships in sports development and how such collaborations can drive growth in the sector.

While welcoming the delegation, Osagie acknowledged the existing relationship between UBA and the state, noting that the current state Commissioner of Finance, Emmanuel Okoebor, was UBA’s immediate past regional manager.

“This connection shows there is already a working partnership. We will review the proposal and communicate the next steps,” he assured.

The meeting was attended by the key officials of the commission which included Sabina Chikere, Frank Ilaboya, former international, Baldwin Bazuaye (MON), and Gideon Ukpiebo.

This engagement is a crucial step in securing sponsorship for the sports festival, aligning with Governor Monday Okpebholo’s vision for sports development in the State.
