Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State on Saturday received the National Sports Festival (NSF) ‘Torch of Unity’ and reiterated his administration’s commitment to providing critical sports infrastructure to boost sporting activities in the state.
The governor represented by his deputy, Emmanuel Akabe, received the NSF Torch of Unity from Saka Akeem, Representative of the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, flanked by Othman Bala-Adam, Nasarawa state Commissioner of Youth and Sports.
He lauded the federal government for ensuring sustenance of the NSF aimed at ensuring unity and discovering sporting talents across the nation.
