Delta State hosted the 7th edition of the Youth Games in Asaba, last year when the Governor was barely a few weeks in office, but speaking yesterday ahead of the Games, Governor Oborevwori the this year edition which will officially commence today, September 12, would be far better.

He spoke to journalists shortly after inspecting facilities at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, the state capital, which is the main venue for the games.

The Governor, who inspected the swimming pool, shooting range and other facilities at the Indoor Sports Hall, was conducted round by Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, LOC, Chief Solomon Ogba, and top officials of the State Sports Commission.

He said 5,776 athletes from 29 states had arrived and registered for the games ahead of Thursday’s opening ceremony.

He said: “We are ready to host the National Youth Games. You know, tomorrow is the opening ceremony. As of this morning, 29 states have arrived and 5,776 athletes have been registered already. I am sure that this year will be better than last year.

According to him, there are good results from hosting the Games. “You can see that in the last Olympics in Paris, Favour Ofili did very well even though she did not win a medal. She is a product of this Games.

“So, in this year’s games, we are looking for a talent better than Ofili. I assure our people that this year will be better than last year.” he said.
