This much was revealed by the state’s Director of Sports, Idowu Akinbulumo, as she assured that the athletes will give those from other states a run for their money in the various events.
“Of course we are preparing and our expectation will not be anything other than doing better than the 4th position we finished at the last edition. Our target really is to win the competition.
I think we have what it takes to achieve that and we don’t intend to relent in our efforts,” she said. Akinbulumo said the state does not dump their athletes like other states do, and that that has been responsible for the level of consistency the state has enjoyed in terms of athletes’ performance in recent times.
“Our athletes are in-tact and rearing to go. They know what is expected of them and we do our best to make them feel wanted and respected and so we have a very good working relationship.
“We are looking forward to a remarkable sports festival and we hope to have the best of everything, accommodation, transportation, and others.
We had a great time in Rivers at the last edition and I hope Lagos will do better,” she said. The 18th edition of the NSF commences on November 27 and will end December 9, 2012.
