We are indebted to you First National Bank, for your continuous support and good corporate citizenship.\u201d<\/p>\n

She reiterated the commitment of her Ministry to provide an enabling environment for sports and added: \u201cAs the Ministry responsible and entrusted with the development of sports, we are intensifying our efforts to realize that objective.
