Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Emomotimi Guwor, has pledged sustained support for the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN).

Guwor gave the assurance on Tuesday while receiving a membership card and an award of excellence from SWAN’s National President, Isaiah Kemje Benjamin, during a courtesy visit. He expressed gratitude for the recognition, stressing his passion for sports and the legislature’s commitment to promoting sporting development in the state.
