.....Calls on other Bayelsans in other industries to give back to the State.

"It is a pleasant day to see those from this soil giving back to the soil. Let me on behalf of your Government, the Prosperity administration and the people of Bayelsa State, welcome you back home. I like to appreciate you for remembering that you have a home here in Bayelsa State and in Nigeria.

Let me also at this juncture, call on others that, it is not all about what Bayelsa State can give to you but what you can give to Bayelsa State, which our brother has epitomized today.

Now that you want to give back to your state by building an academy for boxing, there cannot be anything better than what you are about to do, to give back to the Youths in Bayelsa State, and so, you are supporting the prosperity administration because these are the different ways by which Prosperity will come to the Youths of Bayelsa State.

I call on other Bayelsans, not only in the sporting industry, but in every other industries to come back home and give back and support your State, so that Bayelsa will become a prosperous State."
