The president of the national Olympic Committee, Dr. Patrick Coker has praised the National Paralympics Committee on the successful conclusion of their elective congress in Freetown.
Dr. Coker described the executive elections 'as transparent free and fair...this is a pleasure not only for me but the NOC as well, and this should send a good signal to other sporting associations that still have problems with leadership to settle their problems through a congress and not fight each other.'
He called on the new executive to give their time to the association to see to it that the association achieve its objectives and spoke about the place of Paralympics sports with the Olympic movement and urged the new leaders to stay within the limits of their powers.
