Niger Delta Games: Edo State 2026 has recorded significant success, prompting organizers to request more partnerships to take the event to the next level.
The Leading consultant for Dunamis-Icon Limited, Sir Itiako Ikpokpo, made this known during a press briefing with journalists on February 24, 2026.
Accompanied by committee members, Sir Ikpokpo emphasized that sports is not a trivial matter, but rather a capital-intensive venture requiring support from individuals who believe in grassroots development.
"It's time for everyone to see sports beyond entertainment and relaxation; it's a platform for business and growth," he said.
Ikpokpo expressed the organization's bigger dream of sustaining the Niger Delta Games, but noted that they face challenges, including funding constraints that limited this edition to 16 sports events.
"We had to cut down on some sports due to transportation costs and equipment logistics," he explained.
He commended the screening committee for maintaining integrity despite pressures and lauded the media for their efforts in promoting the games.
"We appreciate your support and encourage you to keep pushing the narrative," he said.
The Games are progressing smoothly, with logistics, security, medical, and officiating arrangement
Sir Ikpokpo believes that with collective efforts and sincerity, the Niger Delta Games will achieve greater heights.
