Former Governor of Abia State, Uzor Orji Kalu has promised to ease the challenges bothering the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) FCT Chapter on their beats, by fast-tracking the building of the proposed secretariat of the body.
.
Kalu, who is the Pillar of Sports, made the assurance during the courtesy paid to him by the executive committee and some members of the FCT chapter.
.
His acceptance to fund the construction of the secretariat followed the allocation of a parcel of land at the National Stadium yesterday for the purpose by the Minister of Federal Capital Territory.
.
The proposed relocation of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) office from Wuse Zone 7, to the National Stadium on April 28, has prompted sports writers in Abuja to consider having their own secretariat which will bring them closer to the National Sports Federations and NFF in the stadium.
.
Kalu also reaffirmed his support to all sports reporters in Nigeria by reviving the annual SWAN Football tournament to be played at the zonal level with the final billed for Abuja.
That is a very good move from him. If he accomplishes this mission, Nigeria won't forget it.
