The Senator representing Kwara North in the National Assembly said, “It is a no brainer that the youths are the future of this country and if you don't develop and support them, if you don't fill in the passion with something, they will be derailed”.
“One of my key agenda as Senator in the next four years is youths and sports development”, he said.
“I will be paying more attention to sporting activities. I am talking about sporting activities that can attract our teeming youths and engage their energy for productive purposes.
“So watch out for our programs in the days ahead,” the senator said.
Speaking further, the Senate committee chairman explained that there is a need to extensively capture youths properly for sports development.
“They need to be well captured so that they can make the best use of their time so that they don't become a menace to society.
