The Rivers State government, led by Governor Rotimi Amaechi - has raised the bar of the National Sports Festival (NSF) through the infrastructure, standard and organization implemented at the 17th NSF tagged "The Garden City Games 2011".
Observers say that the Garden City Games had increased massively the value and the branding NSF thereby according the festival the status it deserves in Nigeria...Vanguard
If you were at the opening ceremony, which happened right behind my apartment in Port Harcourt, you would think you were in any of the All African games, Olympics or Commonwealth games. It was just marvelous! I implore other states to emulate this feat and raise the bar even further....meanwhile, thumbs up for Rivers State and Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
