Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) Rivers State Chapter has commended Team Rivers for their exceptional and impressive performance during just concluded 22nd National Sports Festival, held in Ogun State.
The association noted that your commitment, dedication and teamwork have made this significant impact that yielded the good performance which placed you fourth on the medal table with a total of 199 medals, 76 gold, 58 silver and 65 bronze.
This was contained in a statement signed by its Chairman and Secretary, Cyril Dum Wite and Comrade Tonye Orabere JP, respectively.
SWAN Rivers State used this medium to extend its commendation to the director of administration ministry of sports in the State, Mrs Ibiwari Wokoma, who is the acting Permanent Secretary for her commitment and contributions in all ramification towards achieving the feat.
We equally applauded the State government for its pragmatic approach towards developing young sports men and women, hence the release of funds for camping and attend the festival on time.
However the association also called on both athletes and coaches not to relent but continue to make the State proud by improving themselves through adequate training.
Once more congratulations!.
