The member representing Isuikwuato State Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Lucky Udoka Nweke Johnson, has reaffirmed his commitment to grassroots sports development as he hosted the Isuikwuato Sports Community at his country home in Umuasua.
The delegation, led by Mr. Uzoigwe Sunday Obialor, popularly known as Ogbeche, paid the visit to engage the lawmaker on ways to advance sports development in Isuikwuato.
