The Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, has restated President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to the development of the Niger Delta and all parts of the country.
Lokpobiri stated this, Monday, during the official presentation of sports equipment to benefitting public primary schools in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
The equipment were distributed to 41 public schools in the state by the National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF).
The minister, who was the special guest of honour at the event, said that talent development was critical to Buhari’s administration.
Lokpobiri, former chairman, Senate Committee on Sports and Youth Development, said, “We believe that talent development is critical to this administration and the Federal Government is ready to support our young children in primary schools to grow with the best of talents that are needed to win Olympics gold in the next few years.
“This programme is carefully designed to support public schools. I think that underscores the importance the Federal Government attaches to public schools,” Lokpobiri added.
