Teenage discovery at the Second Edition of the Akwa Ibom Youth Sports Festival, Imaobong Nse, has won gold in the women’s 400m final at the ongoing National Sports Festival in Abuja. 

Imaobong Nse, a 14 year old JSS1 Student who represented Ibeno LGA in the last edition of the Akwa Ibom Youth Sports Festival defeated her older rivals in 52:35 secs to clinch gold.

Udo’s impressive performance sent the entire stadium into sparks, as a anonymous philanthropist quickly announced a donation of One Hundred Thousand Naira and a pair of Spike shoes to the athlete.

Governor Udom Emmanuel kickstarted the Akwa Ibom Youth Sports Festival in 2016 to serve as a springboard for young boys and girls of school age to excel in the field of sports.

Imabong Nse’s gold increases Team Akwa Ibom’s medal haul to  21 gold medals.
