The items donated to Fr. Osawe included eight footballs, Five volleyballs, one table Tennis board and a dozen of tennis balls with Rackets.
Receiving the items, Rev.Fr Osawe, expressed his parish appreciation to Commission for the gesture.
“We requested the sports equipment from the Edo State government through the Sports Commission, and I am happy to receive them now from the Edo Sports Commission.
“We want to see how we can enhance sporting activities in Eboesi. We saw the need to enhance sporting activities in our community to help engage the youths meaningfully and as well promote evangelism in the area.
“We believe that sports are a veritable tool to use in bringing the youth together and engage them positively.
“We thank the state government for this gesture,” Father Osawe said.
