The Bayelsa State commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Champion Daniel Igali, has called on the state-owned clubs Bayelsa United and Bayelsa Queens to up their games as the new NPFL and NWFL intensify.
Champion Igali, who gave the charge during a meeting with staff of the ministry, explained the importance of both clubs maintaining the performances the state recorded in the past few years.
The world and Olympic champion hinged the charged on the poor performance of Bayelsa United in the NPFL which has seen them win 2 out of 9 matches, and placed them in the relegation zone.
Igali also called for Bayelsa Queens to continue on the path of being recognised among the best female teams in the country.
The commissioner however commended staff of the ministry for their commitment and service to the state, stressing he has enjoyed unreserved support as commissioner from them.
Similarly, Igali expressed appreciation to the staff of the ministry for “voting rightly” at the just concluded governorship election in the state.
The meeting was attended by the ministry’s permanent secretary, Mrs Grace Alagoa, heads of department, coaches of Bayelsa United and Bayelsa Queens among other staff.
