Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has assured that any athlete who wins medals in the National Youth Games would be adequately compensated.

The state Commissioner for Youth Development and Sports, Charles Akpuenika, gave the assurance on Monday in Abakaliki, while addressing the athletes and officials before departing the state for Ilorin, Kwara state, venue of the competition.

Akpuenika urged the team to replicate their feat at the competition’s zonal elimination series held in Abakaliki in September where the state qualified for all the team events on parade. He said, “The Governor had pledged to reward all medalists from the national youth games, I, therefore, want to implore you to go to Ilorin and conquer.

“You should not underrate your opponents, rather strive to defeat them to bring laurels to the state. We will be satisfied with gold and silver medals, but will take bronze as unavoidable compensation.” He urged the athletes to obey camp rules and translate the techniques impacted on them by their officials on the field to victory.
