The sole sponsor of the Championship stated that sports is one reasonable industry that take good numbers of youths out of joblessness as well as putting food on their table and today the Rivers State governor appears to pursue sports development vigorously.
According to Johnbull Dangote, there is no formal way to engineer person or persons to enable him work harder and effectively well for the people than to firstly appreciate what he has already put on in place , particularly when one discovered that what is already been put on ground is geared towards meaningful development.
Pointed out Pro Dangote emphasized that what encouraged him to uncompromisingly organized such a great competition in Rivers State when people are complaining of harsh economy is the level of peaceful deposition of the governor without much to mentioned include his kind ability to pay even to the least office cleaner in the state civil servants the sum of one hundred thousand naira last December, implementation of their promotion, increment and also trying to take/handle probably the payment of pensioners entitlement across board in the state.
He stressed that this landmark human capital development had never ever been properly handled by the past administration, as thought that was not enough in spite of other ongoing infrastructural development, Sir Siminalayi Fubara as well painlessly supported sports men and women with the sum of more than one hundred and forty million naira hence without any consideration he should be commended by all and sundry.
One of the biggest philanthropist per excellent in the golf industry in the state as some of his friends funny call him reminded everybody present during the occasion that he did not organized the competition to seek political favour neither, asking for financial support from both government or any individual rather it is his usual way or manner to tell any person or persons and or government thank you for a job well done. And like we all know or aware he grew up in the sporting industry where all facets of games have the capability of building lives endeavor of youths and the Rivers State governor is busy pursuing it. Saying “to whom more is giving, more is expected”.
