The Bayelsa State Government has expressed deep gratitude to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for its generous support in launching the first ever Niger Delta Sports Festival at the Samson Siasia Sports Complex.
Speaking on behalf of the government and the people of Bayelsa, officials emphasized the vital role of sports in shaping the youth, fostering talent, and curbing crime. The festival, they hope, will become a lasting tradition, strengthening the state’s commitment to youth empowerment and talent discovery.
Urging participants to compete with discipline and avoid drug use, the state reaffirmed its belief that “a drug infested sportsman is a doomed human being.” With high hopes for victory, Bayelsa encourages its youth to seize this opportunity to shine.
God Bless Bayelsa State.
