Swearing in the Committee which is headed by the the National President of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Honour Sirawoo, the State Governor Nyesom Wike emphasised that everything needed to make it a successful event that would leave an indelible impression, should be done.
“ This is the first time that Nigeria is hosting the event and it is happening in Rivers State. Committee members must work together to place Rivers State on the global map.
“ We are hosting international sports journalists. This is an opportunity to promote Rivers State. After the meeting, the international journalists should be our global ambassadors”, Wike said.
