Chief Executive Officer of Monimichelle, Ebi Egbe has given a pat on the back to Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson over the commissioning on Thursday of the state airport in Yenagoa.
Egbe who spoke yesterday said the airport apart of opening up Bayelsa would boost sports and tourism in the state, declaring that Dickson is matching words with action with his Restoration Agenda.
“Every Ijaw man is happy with the development going on in the state. Dickson deserves a pat on the back for making the airport project a reality. The airport is one infrastructure that would not only open up the state, but also boost sports and tourism,” Egbe said.
The FIFA licensed match agent noted that Dickson is also providing world class sports facilities that would in the near future make Bayelsa the new Mecca of sports in the country.
“The Samson Siasia Stadium as we speak boasts of a geotech playing turf that is one of the best in the country. The state has a wonderful golf course and the Asuama Sports Academy project is on course. Now that we have an airport in Yenagoa, taking international sporting events to Bayelsa would be easy. Bayelsa would soon become Nigeria’s new Mecca of sports,” Egbe said.
