Tagged ‘Uniting Nigeria, inspiring a new generation’, Ukah said Delta 2022 would go down in history as the best organised and economic viable with the array of sponsors that have already aligned with the event.

Sports Minister, Dare eulogised Governor Okowa for his total support for sport over the years, adding ‘Nigeria is finished should Delta State be taken out of her sporting equation.’

Dare said Delta has done so well for Nigerian sport over the years and hopefully the state would be ready to host the next edition of what he called Nigeria’s Mini- Olympics.
Okowa, said the state is happy to bring home the sporting extravaganza it has dominated over the years.

”Of course, we want competitors but we are sure of winning even here at home. We are going to put in our best, and at the end, we would show that truly, ‘Delta no dey Carry Last.”

The official Mascot called UZO, symbolizes Delta State physical power, Strength, ferocity, focus, and willpower to continue to dominate in the world of sports.
