SUPER EAGLES GOALKEEPER, EBUKA OKOYE, APPOINTED ENUGU STATE AMBASSADOR

Enugu State Governor, Peter Mba, has appointed Super Eagles and Udinese star goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye, as his sports ambassador.

Governor Mba announced after a meeting with Maduka Okoye at the Lion Building Government House that the Enugu-born goalkeeper is not just making the state proud on the national and global stage, but is also poised to give back.

"He shared his vision to launch a charitable foundation and establish a football academy right here in Enugu, to inspire young talents, nurture future stars, and touch lives.

"In recognition of his achievements and commitment, I’m proud to appoint him as an Ambassador of Enugu State. He will serve as a role model to our children, especially those in our Smart Green Schools, and inspire a new generation of dreamers and achievers.

"To support his football academy, I have committed to providing land for the project. I also invited him to participate in the next edition of Enugu International Marathon, which will feature elite runners from around the world.

"At the heart of our vision is the youth – their talent, passion, and future. And with proud sons like Maduka Okoye, Enugu is truly rising."
