The Anambra State Commissioner for Youth Development and Sports, Mr. Patrick Agha Mba has embarked on an inspection tour of major sports facilities across the state as part of efforts to assess their condition and chart a path for their rehabilitation.


The inspection was conducted on June 2, covering the Chuba Ikpeazu Stadium in Onitsha North Local Government Area, Otuocha Township Stadium in Anambra East, Godwin Achebe Stadium in Onitsha South, Ogidi Stadium in Njikoka, Solution Stadium in Aguata and Awka City Stadium in Awka South.


Speaking during the exercise, the commissioner said the visit was aimed at evaluating the current state of the facilities and identifying areas requiring urgent intervention to restore them to full functionality.


Agha Mba expressed concern over the deteriorating condition of many of the stadiums, noting that years of neglect had left several of the facilities unsuitable for sporting activities and talent development.


He emphasized that sports remain a vital tool for youth empowerment, social inclusion, the discovery and nurturing of talents, stressing that the state government is committed to revitalizing sports infrastructure across Anambra.


According to him, plans are already underway to rehabilitate the affected facilities and reposition them as centres of sporting excellence, youth engagement and community development.


The commissioner further said that the inspection aligns with the vision of the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo to promote sports development and create opportunities for young people to excel in various sporting disciplines.


The tour forms part of the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports' broader agenda to revive sports in Anambra State, improve sporting infrastructure and provide a conducive environment for athletes to train and compete.
