The Chief Executive Officer and President of the Bahlodi Africa/Liberia says his entity remains committed to the development of sports in the country.

Despite canceling a promotion contract with the Liberia Football Association (LFA), Mr. Steve B. Davis stated that Bahlodi or Ditiro, the sporting arm, was still determined to continuously develop the game in the country.

“We only said that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with LFA was being withdrawn, but we are here to develop sports and will continue to do so,” indicated Mr. Davis.

Moreover, Mr. Davis noted, “Whatever assistance that is required of us will be performed as long as we have the resources.”

He congratulated the press for the task of informing the public in the area of sports and commended those that voted for him as Sportsman of the Year for 2006.

According to him, Bahlodi was contemplating putting into place a program that would cater to communities in need of sports development.

He promised that there would still be a cordial tie with the LFA but not on the basis of an MOU that has now become something of the past.

“We are still working tirelessly to move the game forward but that won’t be under the old arrangement with the LFA.

“We have decided to help athletes to secure contracts abroad and even clubs that deserve our assistance.”

He concluded, “We don’t have problem working with the Sports Ministry except that we have not been invited to form part of its program.”
