The former Chairman of the Gombe State Athletics Association and the Gombe State Football Association, led a delegation on a courtesy visit to His Royal Highness, the Emir of Gombe, at the Emir’s palace.
The visit was aimed at appreciating the Emir’s exemplary leadership and formally presenting gift items to commemorate the occasion.
A major highlight of the visit was the presentation of the Gombe Emir’s Cup Football Competition, a tournament designed to foster healthy competition among Emirates and Chiefdoms across Gombe State.
The competition seeks to promote unity, cultural integration, youth development, football development, and harmony among traditional institutions within the state.
Hon. Ahmed Shuaibu Gara Gombe, who is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Green White Green Sports Center Limited, further sponsored the establishment of a football viewing centre at the Emir’s palace.
The centre provides a space for football enthusiasts to watch AFCON matches, including the Super Eagles’ encounter against Morocco.
Widely regarded as a pillar of sports management and sponsorship in Gombe State, the sports icon continues to demonstrate unwavering passion and commitment to the development of sports, a dedication that shows no sign of abating in the near future.
