Coach of Imo Strikers Queens Of Owerri, Nelly Orisakwe has given a pat on the back to Bayelsa State governor, Douye Diri for bankrolling the just concluded pre season tournament in Yenagoa.
Orisakwe while congratulating all those that put together what she called “a memorable outing” in Yenagoa said Diri deserves commendation for supporting the growth of women football in the country.
“We thank the organizers for the invitation extended to us, Imo Strikers Queens. For us, it was a memorable outing. We say kudos to Gov Diri for supporting women football and to the organizers we doff our hats for a job well done. It was a well organized pre season tournament,” Orisakwe stated.
It would be noted that Orisakwe who recently completed her CAF C license course has been winning on all fronts.
She successfully led teams to win gold both at the Niger Delta Sports festival and the Gateway Games in Abeokuta.
The amiable tactician has also discovered several young talents that are doing well in clubs across the country as well as in the age grade national teams.
