GBBFF hails $6B budget as “profound investment”

The Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF) has joined their fellow local sport associations in endorsing this year’s $6B allocation to the sport sector in the national budget.
This year’s budget was presented to the National Assembly at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC) on Monday last, where the landmark allocation to sport was divulged.
Perusing the developmental measure this year’s sport budget possesses, they wrote, “The Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF) wishes to formally acknowledge and commend His Excellency, President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, for the historic $6 billion budget allocated to sports.
This significant investment will undoubtedly elevate all sporting disciplines across Guyana, enhancing the quality of life for our athletes and providing the essential resources to achieve their goals more effectively.
With access to world-class equipment and facilities, nothing will hold Guyanese athletes back from dominating the international stage. Bodybuilding currently boasts seven professional athletes; with this level of support, we aim to double, or even triple, that number.
This budget is opening doors for the next generation. Furthermore, the $1.2 billion dedicated specifically to youth development is a profound investment in our future world champions. Providing this level of support now will propel them into the successful athletes of tomorrow.
Under the visionary leadership of the Honourable Minister Charles Ramson Jr, Minister Steven Jacobs, and Director of Sports Steve Ninvalle, I am confident that this team is more than capable of executing a transformative agenda, one that will truly take Guyanese sports and our local talent to the next level.”
