Chairman of Gombe State Amateur Athletics Association, Alhaji Ahmed Shuaibu-Gara Gombe, has distributed clothing materials to athletes that represented the state at the 21st National Sports Festival held in Delta State.

The gifts came in bundles of wrappers and brocade materials. Gara-Gombe described the items as token of appreciation for the athletes’ effort at the bi-annual festival.

Gara-Gombe, who was represented by the association’s Technical Adviser, Prince Simon Ayuba, urged the athletes to resume for camping after New Year to commence preparation for Ogun 2024.

“I am proud of you, even though your overall performance at the sports festival was not encouraging enough. But I see prospects in all of you and I am willing to help you achieve success in subsequent competitions,” Gara-Gombe stated.

Gara-Gombe and 23 other association chairmen and board members were inaugurated by the State Sports Commission about three weeks to Delta 2022 Sports Festival.

He, however, said he would not take responsibility for whatever outing the athletes got from the festival, but would lay a solid foundation for future performance.

“I am fully committed to my words and very soon will unfold my comprehensive programme for the athletes ahead of the future,” he said.
