Chairman of the Gombe State Amateur Athletics Association, Alhaji Ahmed Shuaibu-Gara Gombe, has distributed clothing materials to the athletes representing the state at the recent National Sports Festival held in Asaba, Delta State.

 

 

The gifts came in bundles of wrappers and brocade materials in what the state’s athletics boss described as a token of appreciation for the athletes’ effort at the bi-annual festival.

 

 

Gombe, represented by the association’s Technical Adviser, Prince Simon Ayuba, said the athletes should resume camping after the new year to commence preparation for the next festival to be held in Abeokuta, Ogun State, in 2024.

 

 

“I am proud of you, even though your overall performance at the sports festival was not encouraging enough. But I see prospects in all of you, and I am willing to help us achieve success in subsequent competitions,” the chairman told the athletes.

 

 

The Gombe State Sports Commission inaugurated Gombe and 23 other association chairpersons and board members about three weeks before the Asaba festival. The athletics boss said he would not take responsibility for whatever outing the athletes got from the festival but would lay a solid foundation for future performance afterward.

 

 

“I am fully committed to my words and will unfold my comprehensive program for the athletes ahead of the future,” he said.
