 The Niger Navy has promised to remain steadfast in its contribution towards the development of sports in the country. The chief of administration at the naval headquarters, Read Mirol Jason Bassa, while announcing its forthcoming Navy Games, said that the event would create an opportunity to identify and develop talent that would proudly represent Nigeria in national and international competitions. Bassa, who stated that the event was scheduled to hold from the 8th to the 13th of September, also announced the commissioning of the new Niger Navy Sports Complex. I have the honor to bring to your notice that the Niger Navy will use the opportunity of organizing these 12 Niger Navy Games to also commission the sports complex in Navy Town. This is an edifice that started sometime back in 2016, 2017, and today it's completed with an indoor sports hall, a gym, a swimming pool. The complex also has a football pitch with a standard pavilion, outdoor courts for handball, volleyball, and basketball, as well as a track for athletics. The Games will involve 22 events with about 1,820 athletes, officials participating. We will be using the Navy Sports Complex alongside the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Taman Dubaraks, and other facilities within the Navy Town to host all these events. Bassa added that the Navy has consistently sponsored competitions around the country, such as the CNS National Open Swimming Championship and the CNS Under-17 Football Championship, among others. The Niger Navy does not rely on it alone to keep its athletes and personnel in good physical and mental condition. The Navy also has consistently, over the years, sponsored competitions at the national level around the country, such as the CNS National Open Swimming Championship and the Youth Sports Federation of Nigeria Organized CNS Under-17 Football Championship. The Niger Navy also recently established a polo team, which, within seven months of its existence, won trophies at the Niger Navy's 66th Anniversary Polo Tournament and the TY Dangema Cup, all in Potarkot. The team came second at the Lagos International Polo Tournament, at the Lagos International Polo Tournament. With a sense of responsibility, I feel privileged to inform all that the Niger Navy's Admirality Football Club is presently placed second in the Nationwide League 1 Football Competition here in Lagos.
