By Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has awarded scholarships and cash donation to young athletes who made the state proud at the just concluded National Table Tennis Championship held in Lagos.

Governor Yahaya Bello announced this while receiving Ize Sezuo and other athletes in company of her parents, technical managers and other athletes from the state were in governor’s office to present their medals to the Governor.

In the tournament organized by NTTF in collaboration with the Lagos State Sports Commission (LSSC) and support from Baba Ijebu Bet, Prime Atlantic, and a host of others, Kogi-born Ize Sezuo put up a sterling performance and won a medal.

The governor who described Ize and others as teenage sensational athletes who deserved unequalled motivation and support, however, charged them to continue to make the state and nation proud.

“I am highly delighted to meet Ize, the Kogi state representative who while battling toothache and Malaria fever, Ize managed to come 3rd after facing competitors older than her.”

“I hereby award her an Educational scholarship from now until conclusion of her tertiary Education.”
