According to Michael Felix Rowe, he said the role of Memosian is to be able to manage and develop the different sport organizations within his or her country and beyond, and also to implement and develop administrative management policies and develop projects within the NOC as well as serving as Marketing and Sports Manager for Sport in Sierra Leone.
During the certification ceremony, Michael Felix Rowe was the only one from West Africa out of 55 who were awarded the degree with five others from different parts of Africa.
He said initially the number was 75 but 20 backed out because they were not able to live up to the standard of the course which was very tense.
Rowe went further to thank the NOC who nominated him to do the course a year ago and he said the course was not easy but he was able to succeed because of his determination.
