According to a statement issued by Olukayode Thomas, Head, Media and Publicity for Asaba 2018, the visiting CAA officials were elated that the hosts have even more than what is required of them for the continental championship.

The CAA officials were taken round by the Head of Technical for Asaba 2018, Yussuf Alli, who explained in detail the innovations being planned to make the 21st African Senior Athletics Championships the best ever.

In his remark, Vivian who also doubles as the Director Technical of the CAA. commended the LOC for how far they have gone and what they already have in place.
