"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.
