Kogi State, Return Athelete's Medals!! by geebril(m): 9:51am On Nov 06, 2016 |
Sports has been relegated to the
background in Nigeria. The ministry of
education (Kogi state) hosted primary and
secondary school students that won laurels
for the state at the 2013 and 2014 National
Schools sports Festival and all they could get
on Friday was an historical handshake.
Some of the coaches and athletes traveled
long distance to attend the event and they
were given soft drinks. The funniest thing
when they were leaving, 50 persons were
given #1,000 for transportation to their
various destinations.
It would have been better if the reception
was postponed till a more convenient dat
when the ministry must have tangible things
to give the students (imagine the students
2014 medals are missing and nobody is
saying anything). Some of the athletes
vowed not to represent the state and said if
serious States extend an invitation to them,
without looking back they will honor the
invite.
If feel it is high time Kogi state scrap the
National School Sports Office in the state,
scrap the state sports Council and make it a
Sports Commission as it is in other states.
KOGI STATE SPORTS COMMISSION would be
the best thing that will happen if they are to
tap into the hidden potentials. This is my
submission |
