He also commended the Governor Henry Seraike Dickson led Bayelsa state government for its support and commitment to ensure the wrestling federation performs.
The Minister, who seized the opportunity to congratulate Nigerian wrestlers on their recent laurels, assured that his Ministry would continue to partner with the Federation to secure sponsorship and support for wrestlers.
“As a Ministry, we will also join hands to ensure that the place will be befitting for wrestlers and athletes. Due to paucity of funds that is why the work is a bit slow for now. We have given some funds to the board members also they can still source for more funds from other areas.”
