sports enthusiasts by the Superintendent of the Navy Dockyard, Rear Admiral Adetokunmbo Akintola.
The event also witnessed athletes competing in the sailing, Kayaking and swimming.
Akintola who commands the Naval Dockyard Limited explained to journalists that over the years, the Navy has been assisting the club because it offers a lot of manpower in the area of water sports to the state and the nation.
