From the key note Address delivered by Hon Dom Okafor

Badminton, as a sport, embodied speed, agility, strategy, and team work. It teaches us valuable life skills like discipline, perseverance, and healthy competition.

My love for Badminton dated back to my secondary school days when I had the privilege of representing my school in various competitions. Those formative experiences shaped my passion for the game and fueled my desire to give back to my community.

MHR, Hon Engr Dom Okafor

I am thrilled to announce that the contract for the construction of a world-class Badminton court in Aguata has been awarded.

This facility will serve as a hub for Badminton enthusiasts, providing a platform for training, competition, and community engagement.

Engr Dom Okafor, MHR.
