]]> One year after the Edo State Sports Commission was created by Governor Godwin Obaseki, the Edo State House of Assembly has formally passed it into law.

The House, sitting in Benin City on Wednesday, concluded the third and final reading of the bill to give legal backing to the Commission headed by Barrister Godwin Dudu-Orumen, which came into being via an executive order by the governor after scrapping the then Ministry of Sports.

Although the bill was sent to the immediate past House, no action was taken on it until the present House led by  Speaker Franklin Okiye came on board following the March 2019 elections.
