Gara-Gombe expressed satisfaction with the progress made and is confident that athletes will find the accommodations comfortable, which will in turn enhance their performance.

While receiving updates from the committees, Gara-Gombe urged them to expedite remaining projects, which have already cost millions of Naira.

He highlighted the historical significance of the event, marking the first time an individual has initiated such a project to benefit young athletes in Gombe State.

Reflecting on a previous event he sponsored for primary schools, which helped identify athletes for the 7th National Youth Games, Gara-Gombe emphasized the importance of private sector investment in sports.

The former Chairman of Gombe State Football Association urged the government to support such efforts through recognition and encouragement.
