Bassey Inyang in Calabar

Palpable confusion has enveloped the sports circle in Cross River State following the alleged non-inclusion of the Chairman of the State Sports Commission and the Chairman of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria(SWAN) in the Local Organising Committee of the forth-coming National Sports Festival.

According to insiders among the state’s sports enthusiasts, the development runs contrary to what obtains at the national level where the Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC) and the National Chairman of the SWAN are members of the National Organising Committee (NOC) for the festival billed for November in the state.

Already, the Chairman of the State Sports Commission has appealed to the State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade, to ensure that the normal and usual trend is not distorted.
