Former Green Eagles captain, Segun Odegbami, has been appointed as the grand sports ambassador of Ogun State.
Also appointed were Tobi Amusan and Anthony Joshua.
The governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, announced the appointments at the Segun Osoba Press Centre in Abeokuta on Tuesday.
Governor Abiodun presented the certificate of appointment to Odegbami as the state grand ambassador while speaking to sports editors about the readiness of the state to host the 22nd National Sports Festival.
“Permit me to use this opportunity to perform this ceremony of unveiling Chief Segun Odegbami as our grand sports ambassador.
“The National Sports Festival will come and go, but we’re already thinking of leveraging on the gains that will come from hosting the NSF.
“That’s where Odegbami will come in to help us maximise the sports economy.
“He had already given us the template of the Amsterdam Arena, which we intend to replicate at the MKO Abiola Stadium.”
