Ministries of Youth and Sports Development across the country have been charged to formulate deliberate policies that will keep youths engaged at all times.
This advice was given by the proprietor of Tower of Ivory Schools in Nigeria, retired Assistant Inspector of Police, Mr. Udom Ekpoudom, after conducting members of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria , Akwa Ibom State council, on tour of sporting facilities in his school located at Ediene Abak.
The retired AIG said his love for sports development in his schools steamed from the fact that it engages students’ minds and intellect, thereby, diverting their attention from social vices. “I love my state and will always indulge in anything that will promote the development of my state. I ventured into schools because I intend to support the growth of education in my state.
Earlier, Akwa Ibom State SWAN chairman, Comrade Emmanuel Akpan, said the tour became necessary to allow his members opportunity to witness first-hand, the conscious efforts made by the school towards the development of sports.
