Former Delta State governor, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan says he is still relishing a ‘birthday ‘gift’ from Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC), which gave him an investiture as a patron last week.
Uduaghan celebrated his 64th birthday on Monday, October 22, while his investiture as an NOC Patron took place the following day in Lagos.
The medical doctor-turned-politician described it as a special gift coming less than 24 hours after his 64th birthday celebration, and pledged to cherish the honour forever.
Uduaghan also called on various levels of government and stakeholders to support development of grassroots sports in Nigeria and establish an active National Sports Commission for the nation to excel.
“I want to thank the executive and Board of NOC for finding us worthy to be patrons of the Olympic body.
“Sure, this is a call to service and by the grace of God, we shall all work together to deliver on our mandate,” Uduaghan concluded.
