So impressed with the prompt, massive and professional coverage given to Plateau State contingents in the ongoing National Sports Festival in Ogun State, by the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria, Plateau State chapter, the General Manager of Plateau United Football Club, Hosea Habila Mutla has ditched out a sum of three hundred thousand naira(#300,000) to the Plateau State Sports Writers in far away Abeokuta, Ogun State.Habila Mutla, told SSI Media the reason behind the financial gift.
In his words: “The financial support is to cushion the coverage of the Plateau State journalists over there to further encourage them to do more and showcase his Excellency’, our capable Governor, Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang’s unrelentless love for sports and youths development, and to also showcase our athletes the more to the World.
With the current coverage given to our athletes every now and then by our Sports Writers, it will surely put them on their toes and further motivate the athletes to bring out their best, knowing fully well that these our hardworking journalists will report their achievements and performance to our people back at home and in diaspora.”It’s on record that it’s under this current administration of Barrister Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang that Plateau State will be having more than ten(10) journalists to cover the National Sports Festival instead of the usual two(2).
It would be recalled that the last time and only time in decades that sports journalists will be more than two was in Asaba 2022 when Sammy Sports International Ltd, owners of SSI Leagues and Media, sponsored nine(9) journalists to cover Plateau State contingents at the National Sports Festival in Asaba, Delta State.
