“I must tell you that being here to sympathise and also identify with the Minister who has shown lots of leadership qualities and direction since he assumed office, including his often fatherly roles in bringing NFSC together which led to the election that produced the Okumagba led national executive committee. It has been beehive of activities with very important dignities private and top government officials, in short, from all works of life around to sympathise with the Sports Minister, Solomon Dalung on this his grieve minute.
