Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi has condemned the attack on Sebastian Onwe, the referee for the final match of the 2023 governor’s cup competition played
The governor noted that to forestall such occurrences, match officials for subsequent competitions will come from other states.“The sports commissioner has, however, shown his strength in organising such a competition and we would continue providing opportunities to empower and unite our youths,” he said.
“We would first float teams in the three districts and then select the best players to form the state’s main outfit.Nwifuru also augmented the prize money for the victorious teams, noting that this was in appreciation of the player’s gallant efforts. “The runners-up was supposed to receive N700,000 but we would add N1.2 million to make it N1.9 million.
The State Commissioner for youth development and sports, Richard Idike, thanked the governor for being present at the final and commended the participants for their efforts.
