Speaking during the event, President of the Nigeria Rugby Football Federation, Kelechukwu Mbagwu, expressed his satisfaction on the improved standard and quality of the games at this year’s championship.

He stated that the future of the game in Nigeria remain bright, adding that the NRFF would continue to explore all avenues to popularise the game, as well as, making it youth friendly. (Vanguard)
