Executive Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, Honourable Onoriode Joshua Oborevwori, is set for another major international award, as he has been nominated for the prestigious Nigeria Universal Keystone Sport Awards (NUKSA) Sport Leadership Award in London, United Kingdom.

The latest honour further places the Delta sports administrator in the international spotlight and comes in recognition of his contributions to sports development, athlete welfare, grassroots talent discovery and sports administration in Delta State.

Onos Oborevwori is expected to be among distinguished personalities at the 2nd Nigeria Universal Keystone Sport Awards Gala, slated to take place on Thursday, September 3, 2026, at the prestigious Ham Polo Club, Petersham Road, Richmond, London.

The nomination was conveyed to the Delta State Sports Commission Chairman in a formal invitation dated June 30, 2026, by the organisers of the awards.

According to the organisers, Onos Oborevwori’s nomination is in recognition of his “outstanding contributions to sports administration” and his “exceptional leadership in advancing sports development in Nigeria.”

The organisers particularly highlighted Onos Oborevwori’s leadership acumen and the state’s continued reputation as a leading sporting powerhouse in Nigeria.

Under his leadership, emphasis has been placed on athlete welfare, grassroots talent identification, sports infrastructure, youth development and creating opportunities for athletes to compete at national and international levels.

The latest nomination is significant against the backdrop of Delta State’s remarkable record in Nigerian sports, with the state consistently producing elite athletes and contributing substantially to Nigeria’s success at major national and international competitions.

The NUKSA organisers noted that Oborevwori’s leadership reflects the belief that sports can serve as a powerful instrument for youth empowerment, social development and national unity.

The London gala is expected to attract an influential gathering of sports legends, government officials, diplomatic representatives, corporate executives, philanthropists, community leaders, members of the Nigerian diaspora and international stakeholders.

The event will feature a polo match, red-carpet reception, awards presentation, fundraising activities, networking opportunities and entertainment.

For Oborevwori, the nomination represents another international endorsement of his growing profile in sports administration and his commitment to building a stronger sporting culture in Delta State.

It also provides an international platform to showcase the achievements of Delta athletes and the state’s broader investment in sports development.

With the NUKSA Sport Leadership Award nomination, attention will now turn to London, where Onos Oborevwori is expected to join other leading figures in Nigerian and international sports for an evening dedicated to celebrating excellence, leadership and the transformative power of sports.
