Delta Speaker hails Okagbare

The Speaker of the Delta State House of
Assembly, Rt Hon (Engr.) Victor Ochei has
applauded Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare for
winning a silver medal in the long jump event at
the on- going IAAF World Championship at the
Olympic Stadium, Moscow Russia. Hon Ochei posited that Okagbare’s attainment
is the product of perseverance and
commitment, which are necessary ingredients
for achieving enduring successes in various
endeavours, adding that it could not have come
at a more auspicious moment more so, as it ended Nigeria’s fourteen year medal drought at
previous editions of IAAF Championships. According to him, “this feat is instructive, as it
symbolises the doggedness with which
Nigerians at home and in the diaspora are
known for.”
