Obi Onyekaba also commended the senator representing Anambra South senatorial district in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah for supporting the platform meant to help the youths to discover the hidden talents.
He said emphatically that sporting activities have become real time business and no longer done mere entertainments.
