One of the leading African sports facilities experts, Ebi Egbe, would this month grace Africa football business summit in Kenya as guest speaker.
Egbe, a certified grounds man and FIFA licensed agent is being invited to speak based on his pedigree which is being acknowledged globally.
The letter of invitation from the organizers of the football summit said Egbe’s invitation as a guest speaker was to share his knowledge on the importance of sustainable sports facilities in developing African football, innovations in hybrid synthetic football pitch construction, saying his presence and expertise would greatly enrich the discussions at the Africa Football Business Summit.
“Your extensive experience and significant contributions to the football industry, both as a former football agent and now as the Managing Director of Monimichelle Sports Facilities Construction Ltd, make you an ideal speaker for our Summit. Your expertise in turnkey sustainable sports facilities construction and hybrid synthetic football pitch construction would be invaluable to our audience in light of the ongoing investments in sports infrastructure developments.
“We are particularly interested in having you share your knowledge on the importance of sustainable sports facilities in developing African football, innovations in hybrid synthetic football pitch construction and the role of quality infrastructure in enhancing player performance and fan experience.
“Your presence and expertise would greatly enrich the discussions at the Africa Football Business Summit 2024 and provide valuable perspectives on the importance of sports infrastructure in football development. We are confident that your participation will inspire and inform our attendees, contributing significantly to the event’s success,” letter read in part.”
Reacting to the invitation yesterday, Egbe said he would be in Nairobi for the all important summit which he noted falls in line with the vision of his company to eradicate bad pitches in Africa.
“It is a big honor to be recognized by the organizers. I will be there to share my experience with other attendees at the summit. And I am happy people are watching and acknowledging the good work we are doing at Monimichelle,” Egbe said.
Egbe’s outfit, it would be noted, constructed the pitches at Enyimba stadium, Aba, Remo Stadium Ikenne, Kakanda Stadium, Katsina and the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos the venue that last weekend hosted Nigeria’s President Federation Cup final.
