Nigeria’s commonwealth games Bronze Medalist, Otonye Iworima says she was extremely happy when she visited the camp of team Rivers as they put finishing touches to their preparations for the National Sports Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iworima, a long and tripple jumper said the level at which Rivers state has invested heavily in athletes and officials for the 20th National Sports Festival which is billed for Edo State starting from April 4 is laudable, adding that it will spur the athletes to give their all at the multi sports event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said “This is a befitting preparation, the standard is beyond what I have seen over the years, things have been taken to another level, it’s highly encouraging”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Obviously the Rivers State Government under Governor Nyesom Wike has spent a lot of money, it will be golden and priceless for the athletes to also make him proud, and with what I have seen as per preparations, just watch out for team Rivers”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
