Ebonyi Cricket Enthusiast Sponsors Athletes to Fill Government Void
Chika Okoro, a cricket enthusiast from Ebonyi State, sponsors athletes for competitions due to the government's failure to support them. Okoro's main motivation is to prevent athletes from losing their edge and skills due to the lack of competitive opportunities.
He has consistently sponsored the state cricket team to represent Ebonyi at national competitions, such as the recent National Sports Festival in Abeokuta. Okoro, a former Nigerian cricket international, is passionate about developing cricket talent and has even established a scholarship scheme in memory of his late wife to support budding female cricketers in education and sports.
