A Patron of the NWWF Engr. Habu Gumel has guided the federation as to how to acquire the right location for this facility. Jabi Lake Abuja is the an ideal spot. He graciously gave a letter of endorsement to make this location accessible for a temporary facility while the federation works towards acquiring plots of land from the FCDA for a permanent facility which will open doors to host international championships and harness Nigeria\'s Tourism potential. Mr Fred Onwe an Official of the Federation remarks enthusiastically that Nigeria can\'t wait to participate in international competitions.

Amb. Rachel called on investors to buy into this lucrative profit making venture which will also add great value to Nigeria\'s economy and image by way of opening doors for Tourism and more representation in Sports.
