No fewer than 270 medals are up for grabs at the maiden edition of Governor Nyesom Wike National Wrestling championship billed for Port-Harcourt which gets underway in the ancient city yesterday.
This was disclosed in Port Harcourt by the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) headed by the Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Boma Iyaye, alongside other members of the committee.
According to Iyaye, no fewer than 600 wrestlers from 24 states have so far registered to compete for honours, while more states are expected before the deadline for registration.
The LOC chairman further disclosed that Rivers was not just hosting, but is prepared to do battle, as no less than 90 wrestlers from the state would be seeking for honours on the podium.
He stressed that adequate arrangements have been made for security, adding that the state has hosted numerous events in the last two years without a single security issue being recorded.
