IN 2003, the Federal Government secured the procurement of about eight fire-fighting trucks through the now-defunct National Sports Commission (NSC).
The procurement was part of safety recommendations made by the Supreme Council for Sports in Africa (SCSA) required for Nigeria to organise the 2003 edition of the All Africa Games (COJA), held at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). As of the period, Amos Adamu was the Commission’s Director General, while Olusegun Obasanjo was the country’s President.
