“The handball complex, which had been rehabilitated is being utilized for the training of handball, volleyball and basketball players.
“We also have a brand new badminton hall in Tunga sports complex.
“All these will enhance our performance at any competition, so we are going to take advantage of what we have to compete favorably when we go for competitions,” Sheshi said.
The director also said that the ongoing construction work at the new Bahago Sports Complex in Bosso has reached 90 per cent completion.
He averred that the facilities would enhance the quality of training and participation of athletes and other sports men and women in the state.
