Chairman Scores Secondary School Swimming Competition High, Commends Sponsor

Chairman, organising committee of the fifth edition of Keves Swimming competition among secondary schools in Rivers State, Chief Austin Omire has described the just concluded sporting event held at swimming section of the Port Harcourt Club 1928 as a huge success.
Speaking at the sideline of the event, Omire noted that it was not a contestable fact that both the participants from various schools were in their best element, showcasing their abundant talents in swimming.
He maintained that there are good promising young swimmers in secondary schools who can hit the stardom in near future if timely spotted now and groomed properly.
He, however, charged the young upcoming swimmers not to rest on their oars but to intensify efforts in active participation in swimming, having seen that it is one of great sporting events recognized in Olympics which also attracts lots of medals.
Omire also took time to commend the sponsor of the competition, Chief Ikenna Okafor for his unrelentless efforts in promotion of grassroots sports in the State steadily.
“Interestingly, Chief Ikenna Okafor has not only demonstrated his love in sports by sponsoring Swimming competition alone in the State but equally in other games like football, tennis etc.
He, however, prayed that other spirited individuals in the State should see reason with Chief Ikenna to emulate his good footsteps towards investing in Sports promotion that will help to keep the youth busy and also create job opportunities for the unemployed.
