BDGS Through To Nestle Milo Basketball Championship Final

-

 The Bishop Dimieari Grammar School have made it to the final of the ongoing 22nd Nestle Milo Secondary School Basketball Championship in Lagos 


B.D.G.S secured the last two spot on Wednesday following a 30-29 points win over King Amachree Academy of Port Harcourt who they lost to a few weeks ago in the final of the Southern Zonal tournament in Enugu 


B.D.G.S joined St Jude's Girls Secondary School who made it to the final of the female category on Tuesday, a feat that could see Bayelsa become the first State to win both the male and female team competition in a single season


Speaking  after the victory, coach Tony Nelson lauded the emphatic performance of the team, stressing that the team will not relax until the aim is achieved despite making their first ever national appearance in the Nestle Milo Secondary School Championship. 

Meanwhile, Coordinator Nigeria School Sport Federation, Bayelsa State, Godwin Abari Adagbo commended the high level of performance both the male and female teams have shown so far in the championship.

Adagbo however, attributed the performance to the motivation the commissioner for Education honourable Gentle Emelah has given to the Team Bayelsa, noting that without the needed approval from the state government it would have been a difficult task for the boys and girls to concentrate.

Our correspondent Promise Okotoko reports that Bishop Dimieari Grammar School will face Government Secondary School, F.C.T Abuja who defeated them in the opening game on Thursday by 12noon while St Jude's Girls Secondary School will tackle Akpur College, Benue on Thursday by 10am.

High-Chief Victor Ikeji, Ph.D ( Kpakpando-Umuahia), to run for the local government chairmanship position in the forthcoming local government polls in Abia State. Speaking on behalf of the group, Chief Arthur Nwamara said, the group came to this conclusion after evaluating the performance of the Mayor since his appointment by Gov. Alex Otti. He opined that the Mayor has done well and has embarked on projects that cut across every nook and cranny of the council.

He added that the call became necessary, following the supreme court judgment and the statement by the governor recently, that local government election will be conducted in the state very soon.  "Gov Ot...

The People of Umuyota Autonomous Community in Umuawa-Alaocha, Ohuhu, Umuahia North LGA has reacted to a press release purportedly signed by one imposter named Chikamara Metuh. In a press release signed by Mr. Bright Udeh the Youth President of the Umuokarafor Community, the community where both Mr. Adimchinobi Abraham and High Chief Sonny Uwakwe Nlewedim hails from has advised  members of the public to disregard the so-called press release trying to present the emergence of Chief Sonny Nlewedim as the Eze-Elect of Umuyota Autonomous Community in dispute. According to Mr Udeh "I am the youth president of Umuokarafor, who was unanimously elected by the entire youths of Umuokarafor, Mr. Chikamara Metuh, is not a youth president, nor an executive in Umuokarafor or Umuyota". His imposition clearly shows that the press release is a hatchet job aimed at misleading members of the public to believe that there is a division in Umuyota where there is none. Chief Sunny Nlewed...
