Lead Consultant and Co-Chairman of the Main Organising Committee of the festival, Itiako Ikpokpo announced the appointment and said his company is looking forward to adding value to the festival from her rich and extensive knowledge in working with the media departments of the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) and Federation of International Football (FIFA).

According to Mr Ikpokpo, “the Niger Delta Sports Festival is not just about sports, it’s about our culture, our people and the Youths essentially.
