Cross River State Governor-elect Prince Bassey Otu has pledged to revive sports to bolster revenue and investments in that sector.
He made the remark when he was inducted into Calabar Golf Club as a member shortly upon his arrival from Abuja for tomorrow’s swearing-in ceremony. “Rovers Football Club is today not heard of anymore. Same for Pelican Stars FC, the female football team owned by the state government,” he said.“Let me assure that my government will draw up a plan to revive and activate sports.
Speaking earlier, the Captain of the Club, Major General Ahmed Abubakar Sabo had earlier called on the Governor-elect to look at the direction of golf in Calabar, saying that it has been neglected in the past eight years.
