As Edo State officially kick-starts the 2025 working year in full fledge, Mrs Sabina Chikere made a historic return to the Edo State Sports Commission on Monday, 6th January, 2025, resuming her role as Executive Director.
Sabina was on the 18th of December, 2024, appointed by the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, to steer the Operational and Sports Development affairs of the state.
As the former Permanent Secretary of the commission, Sabina brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the table. Her appointment as Executive Director makes her second-in-command to the Executive Chairman, Honourable Desmond Enabulele.
Hon. Enabulele warmly welcomed Mrs Sabina back to the commission, and although her office is still being prepared, he assured that the facilities’ department is working out a comfortable and well-equipped space for her.
The new office will have all the necessary amenities, reflecting her important role in overseeing Operations and Sports Development as stipulated by the Commission’s Act and in line with world’s best practices.
Mama Bendel’s impressive track record speaks for itself. As General Coordinator and Permanent Secretary of Sports under former Governor Godwin Obaseki, Mrs Sabina drove significant development and achieved numerous successes.
Her no-nonsense approach and dedication to excellence have earned her the nickname, “The Working One.” With her expertise and experience, Mrs Sabina is expected to play a pivotal role in revitalizing the nosediving sports in the state.
The Commission’s board members, including Edo North representative, Hon. Frank Ilaboya; Edo South representative, Baldwin Bazuaye; and Edo Central representative, Odianose Anthony Ikuenobe, Esq., are expected to provide their full support to Mrs Sabina and Hon. Enabulele. With this strong team in place, the Edo State Sports Commission is poised for a bright and successful future.
