Dare then praised all those involved in the 21st National Sports Festival.
“Overall, we have seen all stakeholders come together to make this happen. In sports, nothing is a hundred percent, but you try to make it as close to a hundred percent as it can get and when you see your challenges, you try and fix it,” he said. “My impression is that this by and large, has been a commendable effort. The athletes have kept their eye at the tip of the sphere, the journalists have focused more on the essence of being here. The Delta State government have provided the resources neccessary for this to happen. We thank all the 36 states, their governors, and the FCT.” he said.
The minister then promised that the ministry will try to get things better the next time the festival comes into town. “We are also looking at what we need to improve upon and try to make it better. Any state that hosts the National Sports Festival is stretched to the limit but we try to get it better,” Dare said.All rights reserved.
