The SWAN delegation, led by the Chairman, Shehu Abdullahi commiserated with the Commissioner and the entire sports ministry, offering words of encouragement and support during this challenging time.
"We were worried when the news for the fire incident came to us and as critical partner in sport development is only right we come to assess and Sympathize with them", Shehu explained.
They praised the Commissioner's leadership and resilience in the face of adversity.
The visit served as a testament to the strong partnership between the sports ministry and SWAN, fostering a spirit of solidarity and cooperation. Prof. Gugong appreciated the gesture, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in overcoming adversity.
