Mike Itemuagbor... praises Edo Governor over safety precautions at this year's Okpekpe 10km Road Race
Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okphebolo, has been praised for providing the enabling environment that ensured the successful organisation of the 11th edition of the World Athletics Gold Label Okpekpe International 10km Road Race, held penultimate Saturday in Okpekpe, Etsako East Local Government Area.
Mike Itemuagbor, Chief Executive Officer of Pamodzi Sports Marketing, organisers of the race, said in a statement that flawless security arrangements were critical to delivering another hitch-free edition.
He stressed that without the backing of the Edo State government, securing the hilly and rustic town of Okpekpe for the event, it would have been impossible.
“I really want to appreciate the Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Senator Monday Okphebolo, for ensuring, like his predecessors, that we had another edition of the race without any security hitch or incident,” Itemuagbor said.
