He expressed satisfaction over the quality of work and equipment at venues of the sporting activities particularly the Adokiye Amiesimaka stadium which he described as an international standard.

“Rivers State government under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has uplifted the image and status of the National Sports festival as shown in the fire works displayed during the opening and closing ceremonies”, Wuche added.

Hon. Wuche therefore lauded the state government for moblising resources and equipment for the successful hosting of the sports fiesta in the state while thanking the security agencies and the local organising committee for providing adequate security as well as glamourous sports festival.

Appreciating the Rivers State athletes and their officials for the victory at sports festival, Hon. Wuche challenge them to sustain the record particularly in the 2012 National Sports Festival to be hosted by Lagos State.
