Breaking: Cordelia Eke-Led Exco Scores Another First with Unveiling of NBA Queens
In a bold and inspiring move that combines sports, inclusion, and leadership, the Nigerian Bar Association, Port Harcourt Branch, made history this morning with the official unveiling of its Female Football Team. The landmark event, held at the Goldashe Football Pitch, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, was headlined by none other than Dr. ThankGod Mark, President of Goldashe United Football Club, who served as the Special Guest of Honour.
Dr. Mark commended the initiative, noting that the NBA Port Harcourt Branch continues to set the pace not only in legal excellence but also in innovation and inclusivity.
This groundbreaking project is yet another milestone in the trailblazing tenure of Mrs. Cordelia Eke, Chairman of the Branch. Known for her forward-thinking leadership, Mrs. Eke and her executive committee have continued to redefine what it means to lead a vibrant and inclusive Bar. The launch of the Female Football Team known as the NBA PH Queens FC, sends a strong message of empowerment, unity, and progress.
Members of the legal community, sports enthusiasts, and invited guests who attended the event were treated to a spirited display of the team’s potential and enthusiasm. The energy in the air was electric, as cheers and applause accompanied the official unveiling and team introduction. In his goodwill message, Anthony Ezenwoko, one of the distinguished guests at the event contributed that: “This is more than football; it’s about creating space, amplifying voices, and opening doors for women in all spheres, including sports.”
As preparations begin in earnest for the NBA AGF football competition, the NBA PH Female Football Team stands as a proud symbol of what is possible when courage meets creativity, and tradition meets transformation. Congratulations to the Cordelia Eke-led executive committee for yet another groundbreaking achievement
