Waldorf Knoll’s Inter-House Sports in line with Tinubu’s grassroots sports development –NSC

Chairman of National Sports Commission (NSC), Mallam Shehu Dikko said Waldorf Knoll has keyed into the vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s grassroots Sports development program following their inter-house sports concluded on Saturday at the school premises in Abuja.

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 support to make it better than what it is

“So the Inter-house sports happening here today speaks and aligns with our objective. I have been coming here even before I became the Chairman of the 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 better and to create more advocacy that we need that will align with this vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“What we did was to set up a Committee between the National Sports Commission and the Federal Ministry of Education to see how we can work together and identify talents.

“In the meeting, we had the Vice Chancellors, Directors, and Provost, put them on alert that we now have to focus on the sport and already we have seen the outcome for example we have got letters from the 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 in sports. There will be Degree Courses in sports activities to align with other international schools so that they can be friendly to them.”
