The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Ondo State Chapter, has congratulated Coach Dimeji Abimbola on his appointment as Chairman of the Ondo State Sports Council.
The Chairman of SWAN in the state, Segun Giwa, described Abimbola’s appointment as “a round peg in a round hole,” noting that his wealth of experience in grassroots sports administration makes him well-suited for the position.
Giwa urged the new chairman to deploy his experience and expertise towards reviving the dwindling fortunes of sports in the state.
“As an association, we have no doubt that Abimbola will put all his experience and resources to work to return Ondo State to where it truly belongs in the comity of states, particularly as far as football is concerned,” the statement said.
SWAN also expressed confidence that Abimbola and other members of the newly constituted leadership would have a successful tenure, while praying for divine guidance and wisdom as they discharge their responsibilities.
The association further commended the Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for appointing what it described as a seasoned sports administrator to head the Sports Council.
SWAN said the appointment demonstrated the governor’s commitment to looking inward and entrusting the state’s sports administration to capable hands.
The association wished Abimbola and the other members of the Sports Council a successful tenure and urged them to work diligently towards repositioning sports in Ondo State.
