This morning, I participated in the maiden edition of the Yenagoa International 10km race, and, as usual, it was a great experience. This sporting initiative, already sanctioned by World Athletics, is part of our contribution to the development of sports in Nigeria and, in particular, Bayelsa State.
Great to cheer that aside runners from different states in Nigeria in the race, several participants from other countries are equally in Yenagoa for the road race. We are simply taking Bayelsa to the world and bringing the world to Bayelsa State.
Beyond the exciting moments, this race is huge for sports tourism in Bayelsa State and will, over time, provide a boost to the local economy.
This event is only possible because of the sustainable peace we are enjoying and this is due largely to our rewarding investment in security.
I say congratulations to all the winners and appreciate the global athletics body and the organisers for approving the race in Yenagoa. Bayelsa is again on the world map, this time through sports.
I heartily congratulate the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, Ph.D., on the joyous occasion of his birthday.
His distinguished service to our nation, particularly his steadfast commitment to the growth and stability of the petroleum sector, continues to inspire confidence and progress across the Niger Delta and Nigeria at large. His leadership, vision, and unwavering dedication to national development stand as shining examples of purposeful public service.
As he marks this special milestone, we celebrate not only his achievements but also his passion for advancing policies and reforms that strengthen our energy industry and uplift our people. His collaborative approach and deep understanding of the region’s aspirations have significantly contributed to fostering sustainable development and shared prosperity.
On this special day, I pray that God grants him renewed strength, wisdom, and good health as he continue to serve our great nation with distinction.
Happy Birthday, Distinguished Senator. May the years ahead be filled with greater accomplishments and enduring impact.
