Ogun State Government has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to the improved welfare of all participants at the ongoing National Sports Festival, NSF.
Governor Dapo Abiodun, in a statement through his Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Mr Kayode Akinmade described as regrettable the protest staged by some athletes representing the state at the ongoing National Sports Festival over delayed allowances.
Pointing out that the athletes acted out of impatience, as all necessary arrangements had been concluded for the payment of their allowances, the governor stated that the protest was inconsistent with the values and objectives the state upholds.
He noted that the payment of allowances had already commenced, with athletes receiving bank alerts as scheduled.
The athletes, in the early hours of Wednesday, staged a protest over the non-payment of their allowances.
