Katsina Govt. Hosts Dambe Warriors Competition To Promote Tourism

To encourage tourism, the Katsina State Government has restated its total commitment to promoting the state’s cultural heritage and traditions.The Katsina State Commissioner for Information and Culture Bala Zango disclosed this to reporters on Sunday at the sideline of the Season 3 Dambe Warriors Circuit Fight 11 Competition, otherwise known as traditional boxing held at the Katsina Open Air Theatre.

On his part, the Co-founder of Dambe Warriors Chidi Anyina described Dambe as a new structure of attracting more funding from investors within and outside Nigeria, which he said will, in turn, implate the economy. “We have light weight, middle weight and heavy weight categories. The last two will be disqualified and will leave the league and we will recruit new fighters as promotional for a competition. The third group will now fight at the finals to determine the king of Dambe in that category.

“The locals are sleeping on this, we can take it to the international league. This will also implate the economy because the power of entertainment can not be overstated. Narrative can be changed through sports like this,” Anyina added.
