Egbe lauds Iyaye over NDDC appointment

Chief Executive Officer of Monimichelle Group, Nigeria’s leading sports facilities construction outfit, Ebi Egbe said he was on cloud nine over the appointment of former Rivers State Sports Commissioner, Hon Boma Iyaye as Executive Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

Egbe, a FIFA licensed match agent and the patron of Grassroots Sports Foundation (GRASOF) , said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has gotten it right with the calibre of sports loving, vibrant and cerebral young men that he has put in charge of the commission.

Egbe noted that for NDDC to actually get things right and reduce youth restiveness and crime in the Nigeria Delta region, good attention must be paid to sports.

He said: “I congratulate Hon Boma Iyaye on his appointment as the Executive Director (Finance). Iyaye is a person that is passionate for sports and has served excellently well as Rivers sports commissioner. My brother Dr Samuel Ogbuku who is the MD is a very brilliant gentleman with panache. With them in charge I’m confident NDDC will do more for sports which is a key sector. Niger Delta youths need to be empowered through sports and NDDC need to focus more in this area.

Meanwhile, Egbe stressed that his decision to relocate the corporate headquarters of Monimichelle sports to Yenagoa was a way of making the outfit impact on Bayelsa sports, adding Niger Delta is blessed with sporting talents that must be nurtured and groomed to international stardom with the NDDC playing a pivotal role.
