Dr Patrick Ekeji, the Director-General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), conveyed the government’s pledge on Saturday in Owerri, while addressing weightlifters who were undergoing training for the London Olympics.
He assured the athletes that the Federal Government had made provision for their allowances and other entitlements, preparatory to their training tour of Germany before the Olympics.
Ekeji urged the athletes to be focused, while exhibiting discipline and adhering to professional ethics.
He said that much was expected from the country’s athletes in the game.
Also speaking, Mr Dans Adokiye, the Zonal Coordinator of the NSC, assured the weightlifters of their security in Imo before they would leave for the London games.
He expressed optimism that the athletes would give a brilliant performance in the Olympics.
Adokiye, however, vouched for the competence of the weightlifters who were camped in Owerri.
