The Executive Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission, Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele, has restated Edo State’s unwavering commitment to sports development and grassroots talent discovery.

He expressed the state’s commitment when he attended the 2025 Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Training Cam at Gymnastics Hall, Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City.

The training was organized by the Gymnastics Federation of Nigeria (GFN) in collaboration with the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) and the Union Africaine de Gymnastique (UAG).

Speaking at the event, Enabulele said, “Hosting this training camp in Edo shows the confidence the gymnastics community has in our state as a leading hub for sports in Nigeria. This initiative is not just about theory — it’s about empowering our coaches to develop the next generation of champions.”

While presenting certificates of participation to the coaches, he added, “I urge every coach here to put this new knowledge to work immediately. Take it to the grassroots, build capacity, and help us put Nigerian gymnastics on the world map.”

Enabulele also commended the Gymnastics Federation of Nigeria for choosing Edo as host, describing it as a vote of confidence in the state’s sports-friendly policies.

“We will continue to invest in training, facilities, and people. This is the only way to sustain excellence and produce athletes who can compete globally,” he stressed.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
