According to Sowa, they can even do more or better with enough support from the government. “We appreciate the government’s support all these years but more needs to be done towards the support of the Association and the athletes.”
“We need our athletes to attend more games by so doing they can get more chances to compete against the big names out there and get the exposure and more importantly win medals for the country,” Sowa said.
The scribe further promised continued progress in their activities as he also pleaded for support I asked that people help the athletes especially the young ones to be able to attend various training camps if not in Europe but other African countries which he said can help them improve their performance and be at par with others out there.
