Former Secretary to the Government of Delta State (SSG), Comrade Ovuozourie Macaulay, has felicitated with an erstwhile President of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), Chief Solomon Ogba on his 60th birthday.
Macaulay, in a congratulatory message, said Ogba, who hails from Aviara in Isoko south local government area of the state, had held several political positions in the state culminating in his emergence as Commissioner for Sports, from where he moved to the national scene to become the President of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria.
He noted that Ogba’s resilience and steadfastness saw him to the top even at the national level where he took sports, particularly athletics to greater heights.
These attributes, he added played out too in his private businesses which spread across the West Africa, with track records of successes.
“Ogba is a passionate sportsman and consummate politician. His resourcefulness, dedication and track records informed his choice as Chairman of the local organizing committee (LOC) of the 21st African Senior Athletics Championship held in Asaba in 2018.
“Politically he has been a faithful ally and brother. I recall our earlier days together in 1992 during the governorship election of Olorogun Felix Ibru; ever since we have remained close with similar vision for our people, state and country,” he stated.
Macaulay who is the Director General of the Warri, Uvwie and Environs Development Agency (WUEDA) prayed God to keep Ogba in good health, peace from above and more fruitful years in service to humanity and the state in particular.
