He said that the 5- Aside female youth competition was a football-based version of mini football where each team fielded five players in a smaller pitch in order to reduce the game duration.

The Okpanam youths Presidential hopeful, who disclosed that many players that participated in the tournament would be honoured for their achievements, appreciated the SSG, Chief Patrick Ukah, the traditional ruler of the community, HRM Dr Michael Ogbolu and the Omu Anioma, HRH Dr Matha Dunkwu and other well-meaning individuals for their support.

She said that the community was blessed with a lot of human resources who had impacted positively not only in the community, the state but the nation at large even as she recognised the legendary roles of late Major Kaduna Nzeogwu and Nigeria’ foremost journalist, late Chief Chris Okolie towards changing the narratives in the country.
