The minister
of Youths and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung has commended Peak Milk from
the stable of FrieslandCampina WAMCO for renovating the paralympians’
power-lifting gym at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Dalung gave
this commendation during the handover ceremony of the renovated gym held at the
National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos on Friday.
“The newly
renovated gym, which is now of world-class standard would further inspire
athletes, especially our para-powerlifting Team to continue to push the limits
of excellence by winning more laurels for Nigeria,” Dalung said.
Minister
however called on other corporate bodies to emulate FrieslandCampina WAMCO and
the peak brand by partnering with government at all levels to support sports
development in the country.
In his
remarks, the Managing Director FrieslandCampina WAMCO, Mr Ben Langat said that
the brand took up the challenge to renovate the stadium, to use the story of
the Paralympians to inspire and motivate other Nigerians across all walks of
life.
“We were
inspired by the achievement of theparalympians whose willpower, drive and
self-motivation to win against all odds have seen them shine despite the
obsolete and non-functional gym equipment and facilities they had to use in the
past. They have shown us all that regardless of whatever challenges we face,
with determination, we can always reach for our Peak,” Langat said.
Langat then
charged the Para-Powerlifting Team which is currently ranked No 1 in the world
to make good use of the newly installed world class gym equipment and
continuously make the country proud through several record breaking
achievements.

of Nigeria’s Para-Powerlifting Team, Feyisatan Are heaped praises on Peak Milk
for coming to the aid of the athletes by transforming the National stadium gym
into world-class facility and for also supporting the team with monthly supply
of milk products.

“This would definitely go a long way to enhance our training process and spur
us to more success.”
