The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) FCT chapter has sent goodwill message to former Super Eagles coordinator Emmanuel Attah who retires from service at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) at the end of the month
The association thanked Attah for helping Nigeria win the 2013 AFCON as well as the development he brought to bear as the Chairman of the FCTFA and support to sports generally in Nigeria’s capital.
Speaking at a novelty match in honour of Attah in Abuja, FCT SWAN chairman Bunmi Haruna, thanked him for his unquantifiable support to the sporting media and sports in general.
“He is one of the strongest pillars of SWAN and made a lot of sacrifices alongside late Stephen Keshi and players to ensure Nigeria won the AFCON in 2013,” Haruna said “Your support for sports development in the capital city has not gone unnoticed, we need more people like you to help grow our society.”
Haruna said at a novelty match played between, Team Attah, NYSC staff, and Team SWAN, NaijaRatels and FCT coaches in Abuja that Attah last year donated trophies and cash rewards towards the successful organization of the SWAN Cup.
The former footballer bows out of service at the NYSC as the Director of General Services after 29 years of service with the organization.
