National Youth Games : Edo State Sports Commission Boss Approves Free Haircut For State’s Contingent

Chairman of Edo State Sports Commission Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele has approved a ‘FREE HAIRCUT PROGRAM’ for all the Edo State Athletes for the Youth Games and every other persons around the Stadium on the eve of their departure to Asaba on Monday 25th August 2025 from 9am – 5pm at the Car Park of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.
‎
‎The Free Haircut service according to the Head Coach Edo State Rugby Association, Obong Obong Ntiense Williams which will be provided by God’s Vision Soul Winning Foundation through a Board Member of the Edo State Rugby Association in conjunction with the Edo State Sports Commission is meant to give the Athletes a good and smart look as they go out to represent the State.
‎
‎Speaking on the gesture, Dr. (Evangelist) Christabel Oboh, said, “Normally athletes go for a haircut to look good when travelling out for any games. The program was initially meant for the Rugby Team and it’s sister Cricket Team who are based at Adolor Grounds, but we decided to extend it to benefit all athletes, coaches and staff of Edo State Sports Commission towards the National Youth Games.”
‎
‎The Program can carter for over 1,500 persons in a day and it has been running in Benin City for a while now under the auspices of God’s Vision Soul Winning Foundation owned by Dr (Evang) Christabel Oboh who is a Board member of the Edo State Rugby Association.
‎
‎According to Christabel, this is my own little contribution to our darling Rugby teams and in extension to the entire Edo State Contingent to the 9th Edition of the National Youth Games coming up in Asaba, the Delta State Capital from Tuesday 26th August to Saturday 6th September 2025.
‎
‎Said Christabel, “We are highly honored and sincerely appreciate the Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission for the prompt approval given for these youths to benefit from our free haircut service which has been ongoing for over 6 years in Edo State.

“We are very happy that our little contribution to the Edo State team is appreciated. It gives us encouragement to look forward to future partnership in other games. The Free Haircut Program is not only for the boys. The girls do also look trendy and beautiful with low cut especially these U-15 age category and it is less expensive to maintain.
‎
‎We hope that it will make our contingent look more presentable and younger going for the games and at no costs to the athletes.
