Igbe football tournament debuts

In a desperate bid to avert youth restiveness in Ogume environs, the Ndokwa Vanguard Publisher, Mr Alaska Ekele has formed Igbe Football Tournament. to address the situation. While addressing the youths recently at his home town Igbe Ogume, Ndokwa West local government area of Delta state, he had noted that the purpose of the tournament is to engage them meaningfully and productively during the Yuletide period..

The youths mainly football enthusiasts, thanked him for the initiative and promised to display their skills and do the community and the organizer proud.

The competing clubs are Obadoni FC, Ogwu FC, Ekele FC and Agha FC. The Sports Committee headed by Mr Monday Okochi have drawn the fixtures to suit the aims and objectives of the organizer. According to the fixtures drawn, the competition will commence on December 16, 2018 and the final (grand finale) will be held on December 31, 2018.

Meanwhile, Agha family had shown great commitment towards the success of the competition. They have donated two sets of jersey and promised to contribute for the entertainment of the guests on the last day of the competition. Mr Felix Agha who made the donation on behalf of the family noted that “We will all merry into the new year”

In a related development, Mr Alaska Ekele has set motion in place to revive the already dead Igbe Ogume Students Union. This he did by forming what he called National Association of Igbe Ogume Students. The membership of the union according to him will include those in secondary and tertiary institutions as well as those learning a trade. He said it will be all-embracing to accommodate sons and daughters within and outside Nigeria. They will have their maiden get together on December 27, 2018 at the village square during which an erudite Professor from Delta State University will address them.

He is calling on spirited sons, daughters and friends of the community to key into the project.
