Speaking after the swimming events, the Chairman of the Delta State Sports Commission, Tonobok Okowa, commended the athletes for their commitment and doggedness.

He assured them that Deltans were solidly behind them especially Governor Ifeanyi Okowa who has continued to ask about their welfare and performances at the games.

The President of the Nigeria Aquatic Federation, Chief Chinonye Dafe-Aliyu described the performances of the various states as commendable noting that it was clear Nigeria could become a force in world swimming in future.
