Opuana thumbs up the NSC for the excellent arrangement and the attention given to the athletes welfare.
“The athletes are happy, a reasonable daily allowance is being paid, kits have been supplied.
“We are happy to have Yusuf Alli around is always available to provide everything that is needed, the NSC has done a job we must commend them.”
