Hon. Mark Okpanachi Ogah: The Ideal Candidate for Chairman of the Handball Association, Kogi State

The Handball Association in Kogi State plays a vital role in developing young talent, organizing local tournaments, and preparing players for national and international competitions. It serves as the foundation for the growth of handball at the grassroots level, promoting the sport throughout the state.

Hon. Mark Okpanachi Ogah is uniquely positioned to lead the Handball Association in Kogi State. A former handball player himself, he brought glory to the state by winning laurels in the Under-15 category. His deep understanding of the sport, coupled with his successful career as CEO of Anarock Global Services Limited, demonstrates his capacity to elevate handball development in the state.

His connection to the association goes even deeper. Hon. Ogah’s father, Okakwu 1 of Iyanwo Kingdom, served as the Chairman of the Handball Association in Kogi State from 1991 until his death. As a visionary leader, Okakwu 1 laid the foundation for the association's achievements, establishing a legacy of growth and success that still benefits the association today.

Hon. Mark Okpanachi Ogah is poised to continue this legacy, drawing on his experience and leadership skills to foster talent, organize competitive events, and further develop handball in the state. With his personal passion for sports and dedication to youth empowerment, he is the ideal candidate to drive the association forward.

By building on the strong foundation laid by his father, Hon. Mark Okpanachi Ogah will lead the Handball Association of Kogi State into a new era of excellence and achievement, ensuring that young talents from the state have the opportunity to shine on national and international stages.
