The State legislator and Chairman House Committee on Youth & Sports, Amara Iwuanyanwu, in his statement maintained that, ”the award winning athlete, Udodi Onwuzurike,  demonstrated resilience and the ‘can-do spirit’, which could be found among  many young Nigerians, while calling on the Federal Government to pay adequate attention to sports development geared towards harnessing the energy of young people for positive social engagement and national productivity as exemplified by Team Nigeria at Nairobi 2021.

Rt. Hon. Amarachi Chyna Iwuanyanwu however, hailed Udodi’s father for being one of his greatest fans and also for throwing the weight of his support behind his son’s early athletic  career growth and development.

He also advised Governments at all levels on the urgent need to resuscitate school sports competitions in their extra-curriculum activities as many great talents footballers and Olympians were said to have been discovered during such competitions at early stages.
