Also reacting, the Media Head of the Liaison Committee, Mr. Ettah Emmanuel O., revealed that the athletes expressed excitement and gratitude over the quality of facilities and overall experience.

“The athletes are happy and highly motivated to enjoy such a first-class camping experience in a serene environment. They deeply appreciate His Excellency, Apostle Sen.

According to him, the athletes have collectively pledged to give their best and make Cross River State proud at the Games in Edo State.
