Iyaye Applauds Ambassador Adamu For His Warm Reception

The Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Honourable Boma Iyaye, has applauded the Nigerian Ambassador to Côte d’Ivoire, Martin Senkom Adamu, for his grand reception to players and officials of Rivers Angels all through their stay in Abidjan.
 Iyaye made this known during a lunch reception organised by the Ambassador for the team on Friday before they left for the airport.
 According to the Commissioner, Ambassador Adamu and the Embassy made the team feel at home throughout the over two weeks spent in Abidjan.
 “I want to specially thank the Ambassador and Embassy from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of our Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, I say thank you,” said Hon. Iyaye.
 “While I was in Nigeria, I was well informed on how you attended to the team, from arrival and otherwise.
 “You could have decided to send a representative to attend to the team but you took it upon yourself to be present in all of their affairs and welfare.
 “We appreciate everything you’ve done for us and pray for God to keep you, so you can extend this gesture to other Nigerian teams that come to Côte d’Ivoire,” he added.
 Honourable Iyaye also commended the team’s head of delegation to Abidjan, Alhaji Babagana Kali, for being with the team for the entire duration of the WAFU B qualifiers.
 In his response, an Executive Member of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Kali, appreciated the Nigerian Ambassador to Côte d’Ivoire for his warm reception and said his support was immense and was looking forward to more partnership with the Embassy.
