It’s Immense! Gov Okowa Praises Bank’s Contribution As Curtain Falls On 2nd Zenith/ Delta Principal’s Cup
The Delta State
Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has heaped praises on Zenith Bank, the sponsors of the
state's Principals’ Cup football competition for secondary schools after a
successful completion of the second edition.
Marvel International
School, Ughelli, emerged champions after defeating St. Paul’s College, Ozoro
6-5 on penalties in the final. Full time ended 1-1.
The governor said the
support from Zenith Bank had been immense as he also announced that next year's
winner would win a school bus as star prize.
He also announced the
start of Headmasters Cup, with the winner also getting a school bus.
“The future still
holds a lot for students of Delta state,” he said.
“I must thank our
sponsor Zenith Bank for what they have been doing because this is the second
edition, we are very proud of Zenith Bank.
“I hope they will
continue to help the state and hope by next year, the schools that qualified
for the final will be camped together for some days before the game, so that
they will be able to display more football prowess.
“Last year I said we
need to go back to the grassroots and catch them young, so we are going to be
having the Headmasters’ Cup next which had already received approval.
“Apart from the sum of
N200,000 that will be giving to the best performers like the Most Valuable
Player, Best Goalkeeper, Highest Goal Scorer, by the year 2019, the school that
will win the final will go home with a bus and also the winner of the
Headmasters’ Cup.”
