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

Mr. Osagie welcomed the delegation and acknowledged the existing relationship between UBA and the state.

He cited the example of the current Commissioner of Finance, Mr. Emmanuel Okoebor, who 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 key stakeholders, including Mrs. Sabina Chikere, Hon. Frank Ilaboya, Hon. Baldwin Bazuaye (MON), and Mr. 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 Edo State.
