Revamped sports facilities handed over to Nauru’s Aiwo

The refurbished facilities were part of a $390,000 project assistance from the Australian Government to promote and encourage sports and development in Nauru.

"The Ministry for Sports would like to extend its gratitude to Australia for the financial support...this is a 390k projects with other courts around the island," Kaierua said in a Nauru Media News-NTV report.

Voting hold up in one Nauru constituency

According to RNZI, the Electoral Commissioner said this came after Tazio Gideon, whose nomination to stand in Aiwo was not accepted, had challenged the Commission.

The Supreme Court announced late on Friday that voted in the two member constituency would be adjourned until the legal matter was resolved.
