Akwa Ibom Sports Commissioner to Attend Troost Ekong Tournament

The Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Sports, Elder Paul Bassey, is set to attend the grand finale of the Troost Ekong Foundation Football Tournament for secondary schools on September 1. His presence is anticipated to enhance the visibility of this grassroots football initiative, which aims to offer young footballers in Akwa Ibom State a platform to showcase their talents.

Bassey received an invitation from Mr. Bernard Ekong, a member of the competition’s Board of Trustees, during a visit to his office on August 17. The tournament, organized by the Troost Ekong Foundation in collaboration with the Akwa Ibom State Football Association (AKSFA), seeks to identify promising footballers and provide them with developmental opportunities.

It features both male and female categories, allowing secondary schools from across the state to participate. The initiative is part of Super Eagles defender William Troost Ekong’s commitment to sports development and aims to create structured opportunities for young athletes within the school system.
