The Chairman of the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Chiedu Ebie, wants talents discovered at the Niger Delta Games to be groomed to fly the country’s flag at international sporting events.

Ebie, who made a brief stop at an event organised by Dunamis-Icon Limited for key persons involved in the organisation of the second Niger Delta Games, endorsed the idea of holding sessions to review and project plans for a successful Games.

“At the board of the NDDC, we want to make the Games our legacy project, such that there will come a time in the future when we can have athletes from the Niger Delta Games representing Nigeria at international events such as the Olympics”, Ebie told the audience comprising some members of the Main Organising Committee and the Local Organising Committee.

Commending the leadership of Dunamis-Icon Limited, Ebie, who is a former Secretary to the Delta State Government, noted that, “when you want to institutionalise an event such as the Games, you have to hold such reviews to ensure that gaps are closed”. 
The second edition of the games will be held from February 20 to 27.
