Some traders at the ongoing National Sports Festival have lamented a drop in sales at the national sports showpiece.
They also denied a recent statement by the festival’s promoter Bukola Olopade, that the Delta State Government did not collect money from them to operate their businesses during the festival.
Olopade had told reporters at a press briefing inside the media centre of the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba that the traders operating around the festival areas were granted free spaces by the Delta State Government.
However, some of the traders denied Olopade’s claims, with some of them operating inside and outside the stadium insisting they paid about 20,000 naira for a stand.
