The Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, has honoured the late pioneer Chairman of the Oil Mineral Producing Areas Development Commission, OMPADEC, Chief Albert Horsfall, with a friendly football match in recognition of his contributions to the development of the Niger Delta region and his passion for sports.
The NDDC All-Stars team played the match at Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt, bringing together members of the late Horsfall’s family and friends to celebrate his life, legacy, and love for football.
The late AK Horsfall’s daughter, Soibi Godwin-Clark, and the NDDC Director of Corporate Affairs Department, Mrs Seledi Thompson-Wakama, took the kick-off to signal the beginning of the match.
Speaking on behalf of the family, the son of late Chief Horsfall, Mr Sekuropribo Horsfall, described the football match as a fitting tribute to his father, who had a deep passion for sports, particularly football.
He said, “It is really an honour to have this friendly match in honour of my late father. He loved sports, especially football. If he were alive, he would have really loved the idea of this football game.”
Horsfall expressed the family’s gratitude to the NDDC for its support during their period of grief, noting that the gesture demonstrated the Commission’s appreciation of his father’s contributions as the pioneer chairman of OMPADEC, the precursor to the NDDC.
