The Federated Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Edo State Council, has commended the Executive Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission, Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele, for his visionary leadership and transformative impact on sports in the state.

A delegation from the Chapel, led by Chairperson Mercy Onyenweli, visited the Chairman at his Benin City office on Monday. Onyenweli described Enabulele as “a man who has repositioned sports in Edo State,” highlighting the Commission’s expanded focus beyond football

Today, under your proactive leadership, multiple sports activities have flourished, making Edo State proud,” she said. She also praised his efforts to develop grassroots sports, describing it as a major value addition.

Onyenweli acknowledged the contribution of the Commission’s media team, particularly Media Aide Mr. Edoko Wilson Edoko, for amplifying the Commission’s work. “We feel like part of the Commission through the consistent reports shared by your media team,” she added.

She further explained that the Federated Chapel, one of sixteen under the NUJ Edo State Council, represents journalists across broadcast, print, and online media. She noted the Chapel’s recent re-election and its Secretariat at the NUJ Press Centre, underscoring the Chapel’s commitment to collaboration with the Commission.

Responding on behalf of the Executive Chairman, Executive Director representing Edo North, Hon. Frank Ilaboya, praised the Chapel for promoting the Commission’s initiatives. “We appreciate your support and professionalism. The Commission will continue to strengthen our partnership with you,” he said.

The visit concluded with both sides expressing commitment to deepening collaboration between the media and the sports community in Edo State.
