The state Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Obilor Ananaba, stated this in Umuahia on Tuesday during a stakeholders’ meeting organised by the Ministry of Sports and Youth Development to discuss the future of sports development in the state.

He said, “We recognise that sustainable sports development is not achieved overnight. It is accomplished by taking one step at a time, building sporting initiatives, implementing innovative ideas, and creating opportunities for the gradual transformation of our sporting landscape.
