The just concluded 2022 National Sports Festival held in Asaba, Delta State has opened some wounds in the Adamawa State Sports Council, as the Adamawa State Ministry of Youths and Sports has constituted a committee to investigate how Twenty-Five million naira (N25m) released for the festival was expended.
