Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has been inducted into the Nigeria Order of Sports with the Distinguished Governor Award by the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), in recognition of his outstanding contributions to sports development in Delta State and across the nation.

According to the association, Governor Oborevwori was chosen for the honour not only for his administration’s investment in sports infrastructure and youth development but also for his continued support for sports journalism.
