Edo State Deputy Governor Comrade Philip Shaibu says the 20th National Sports Festival (NSF) is essentially an opportunity to relaunch the state’s rich sporting heritage.

Edo state was in recent memory noted for its unrivalled sporting facilities as well as producing some of the best sporting talents for the country including owning the  famous Bendel Insurance that ruled the waves in the 1970s and producing world class track and field athletes like the famous Charlton Ehizuelen, regarded as the greatest long jumper Nigeria has produced,Yusuf Ali and  George Ogbeide.

Speaking Wednesday at  the renovated Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Shaibu  said Edo state is now on the path of sporting rebirth with first class facilities across its landscape.

” Edo 2020 is not only about the. National Sports Festival but also  a well-thought out plan to restore our state back to the good old days when we dominated sports in Nigeria,” explained Shaibu who doubles as the Local Organising Committee(LOC) chairman of the on-going NSF.

“We have invested so much in first-class facilities and not only here at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City but we have mini stadia spread across the local governments and in some schools  so that our youths can be encouraged to combine sports with education.”

Shaibu said the Edo State  on the long run was looking at a solid public and private partnership initiative in order to sustain the legacy of the NSF.

” Ultimately, it is our desire to ensure that we bring in private investment to our sports and we are being methodological about it because from our experience especially that of His Excellency Governor Godwin Obaseki, the private people will only put money into sports if there’s a solid product.

” So,we are conscious of what we are doing and very soon the gains of this National Sports Festival would be there for all to see.”

Shaibu equally noted that it’s incumbent on subsequent government of the state to follow on this part of rediscovery since virtually everything about the maintenance and sustainability of the facilities being used for the NSF was going to be back by legislation.
