means by which they could be optimally utilized.
The specific areas of interest were the suitability and requirements for supporting

that could be faced in the process.
It was found out that these facilities have met most of the requirements needed to
support various events. Even though numerous challenges existed they could always
be overcome.

revenues that would help in achieving core objectives.
