The Enugu State Volleyball Association has inaugurated a new 11-member executive committee to steer the affairs of the association for the next two years.
The inauguration ceremony was held at the Conference Hall of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Enugu, where Comrade Kingsley Nwosu was officially unveiled as the new Chairman.
Speaking during the event, the Enugu State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Barr. Lloyd Ike Ekweremadu, represented by the Director of Coaching, Mr. Ephraim Ochonma, noted that the inauguration was long overdue. He charged the new executives to hit the ground running and always prioritize the interests of the state.
”Thank God for today. Despite the challenges, we are here. Since the passing of Kenneth Ndu, volleyball in Enugu State has struggled. This is not a place for sharing money — it’s a call to service. Sports is about passion,” he emphasized.
He further urged the new leadership to focus on grassroots development as the key to reviving volleyball in the state.
”Some sports have gone extinct simply because they failed to nurture younger talents. You are all young and capable. Develop the sport not just at the elite level, but from the grassroots. That is where the future lies,” he added.
In his acceptance speech, the newly inaugurated Chairman, Comrade Kingsley Nwosu, expressed gratitude to the Commissioner and the Ministry for their support and confidence in his leadership.
”We are inspired and committed to taking volleyball in Enugu State to greater heights. We’ll do everything — financially, spiritually, and strategically — to grow the sport. Our goal is to build a formidable team starting from the grassroots level,” he said.
“We pray for life and strength, because I have full confidence in my executive team. I want to sincerely thank the Commissioner and the Ministry for this opportunity. Volleyball in Enugu will return to its former glory,” he concluded.
