This is one of the reason Mr Governor is building Stadium everywhere in Akwa Ibom, Gov. Udom truly cares about the future of Akwa Ibom youth. and Nigerian youth cause these teams will not be played by Akwa Ibom youths alone.

Thats good. Akwa Ibom is trying to make it more organized with introduction of championships that these teams can aspire to, and also attempt to make it commercially viable so they are not dependent on the state government.

I suggested this sometimes this year to the Lagos State commissioner for sports and he was a bit skeptical about it. I'll be watching and following this state's efforts on how they intend to make this sustainable and profitable in the long run.

Good one from Akwa Ibom

This is the most important aspect. Commercial viability or else it will fail once the current government is out of office. I believe they'll have this in mind

Yes you are right, the state is trying to build a sport business around the solid infrastructure.
The state only sponsors two football team, the Male team Akwa United FC and the female team ibom Angel's FC, all others are privately owned.
Dakkada FC is sponsored by the governors supporters foundation, there is a Brazilian owned team in Akwa ibom vandrezzer FC.
There are several others like that, so I know if the state creates the right environment for this privately funded clubs to buy in it will succeed.
Key is if it makes money Nigerians will copy
We all wait till one person succeeds in a venture then others will follow suit.
I heard Bayelsa state is planning to float their own airline, that's because they have seen ibom air succeed. That's a good thing to copy.
I hope this succeed for the sake of idle and unemployed youths in the state and country, you can imagine the number of people it will engage even if it's on part time bases.

From players to coaches, staff, security for venues on match days, sports analyst, sports bloggers, media people, food vendors, sport and team praphanelia etc.

This should be seen as a need to dissolve the ZOO as Easterners can manage their own affairs very well...
