Dalung to commission wrestling centre in Yenagoa

The Minister of Youths and Sports, Solomon Dalung, will today commission the Dynamite Recreation Centre in Yenagoa, Bayelsa.

The President of the Nigeria Wrestling Federation, Daniel Igali, who built the project, said yesterday that the President of Nigeria Olympic Committee, Habu Gumel, and Bayelsa State Governor Seriake Dickson would also attend the ceremony.

Igali, who is also the chairman, Technical and Development Commission of the NOC, said the centre would help in producing future athletes for the nation.

“The centre is for both the beginners and experts in the wrestling. I become what I am today through wrestling, and that is why it is worthwhile for me to put up an edifice, a recreational facility for younger ones to come and display their talent,” Igali stated.
