The South-South representative on the board of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF), Mr. Ama-Ebi EbiEkpolade Stow, has pledged his full support for the forthcoming anniversary celebration in honour of Chief (Ambassador) Ogunu Miebi Samson, a respected figure in grassroots sports development.
The anniversary planning committee, led by Chairman Hon. Uroh Kiani paid a courtesy visit to Mr. Stow at his Oxbow Lake office to seek collaboration and partnership for the upcoming event.
In his remarks, Mr. Stow lauded Chief Ogunu’s decades of service in nurturing sports talents, particularly at the grassroots level. He noted that such dedication is a rare quality, especially in an era where selfless service often goes unnoticed.
“Having come from the private sector myself, I understand the sacrifices required to contribute meaningfully to the growth of our state and nation. Chief Ogunu’s contributions reflect true passion and patriotism,” Stow said.
Mr. Stow urged government bodies and International Oil Companies (IOCs) to leverage the expertise and unwavering commitment of individuals like Chief Ogunu to promote national sporting interests.
According to him, passion-driven service is a vital resource in building Nigeria’s sports sector and empowering young athletes.
Demonstrating his personal commitment, Mr. Stow pledged to bankroll the budget for the tennis segment of the anniversary celebration, in addition to providing branded T-shirts and bottled water for the event. He called on other well-meaning Bayelsans to join hands in making the anniversary a resounding success.
