Waldorf Knoll’s recent inter-house sports event has
received high praise from the National Sports Commission (NSC) for aligning
with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s grassroots sports development program.
According to NSC Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, the
school’s event demonstrates a clear commitment to identifying and nurturing
young talents across Nigeria
Dikko who doubled as the Chairman of the event hailed
the way Waldorf Knoll organized the inter-house sports adding that it will make
it easy for the Commission to identify talents scattered around Nigeria.
He therefore promised the Commission’s supports to
make it better.
“So the Inter-house sports happening here today
clearly speaks and aligns with our objective. I have been coming here even
before I became the Chairman of National Sports Commission, so, it is something
that is deep and is in my heart I am not just here for the fun of it. So, I
will use that position to advance it to make it much more better and to create
more advocacy that we need that will align with this vision of President Bola
Ahmed Tinubu.
“In fact, what we did was to set up Committee between
National Sports Commission and the Federal Ministry of Education to see how we
can work together and identity talents.
“In the meeting we had we the Vice Chancellors,
Directors, Provost is to put them on alert that we now have to fucus on the
sport and already we have seen the outcome for example we have got letters from
University of Jos who have presented themself to us as the Center of Excellence
for North Central”.
“They are now focusing on setting up national courses
of sports. There will be Degree Courses of sport activities to align with other
international schools, so that they can be friendly to them”.
