The Delta State Sports Commission chairman, Tonobok Okowa, has stipulated that the ongoing 21st National Sports Festival in Asaba will make Delta State richer.
While speaking to reporters after the opening ceremony, Okowa said residents of the state had already benefitted from several of the projects undertaken by the state government ahead of the biennial competition.
Okowa also addressed the concerns about the short time the state government had to prepare for the festival, adding that a building accident inside the stadium was unnecessarily blown out of proportion.
