The ICT teams arrived from across the country to facilitate the registration process.
According to Chairman Local Organizing Committee, Prof Ishaya Pam, that the goal of the accreditation is to ensure smooth and well-organized games.
“So far, the process has been going on well we are fully preparing for the Opening Ceremony on November 5th, and from the progress we’ve made, we are confident that everything will be ready before that date”.
Prof Pam, who is also the Chairman, Unijos Sports committe, said “as for the athletes’ screening, it is currently ongoing and should be completed by tomorrow. We expect all qualified athletes to be cleared and registered. However, there may be a few cases where some students do not meet certain criteria such as not having matriculation numbers — but we are working closely with the accreditation team to resolve such issues promptly”.
