The Governor who was represented at the event by his Chief of Staff,Mr Ernest Ezeajughi disclosed plans by his government to use sports as a veritable tool to curb crime in the state by engaging youths and students to effectively utilize their talents for a better society.

He noted that those already discovered during the first edition of the annual Schools competition are already doing well and winning laurels at both national and international sports games.

Onyedum said, “We shall have these games in three categories which are Under 12, 14 and 18 at the community Local Government Area , Senatorial District and climax at State level. The Sports Commission will continue to support them especially in the area of sports infrastructure.

“Already, the preparation for this year’s National Youth Games in Asaba, Delta State has started and the young and raw talents that will be discovered from this festival will constitute up to 85 percent of Anambra Team to that Games.

“In 2023,:about 600 primary and secondary schools registered and participated in the Sports Festival and I want to gladly inform you that it was not only a success, it has been yielding fruitful results.
