Ambassador Adesina Ogunsola, Executive Chairman of Obafemi Owode Local Government, has called on well-meaning individuals and organizations to support the current administration’s efforts to reposition the sports sector.
Ambassador Ogunsola who made the call while speaking with sports journalists in Abeokuta at the final of Egba Youth Championship reaffirmed his commitment to use the instrumentality of sports to reduce societal vices among youths in the council area.
Describing sports as an important tool to promote the economic development of any society if harnessed effectively, Ogunsola promised to partner with relevant stakeholders to develop sports at the grassroots levels.
“It is obvious that sports remain an important tool to take unemployed youths away from the streets and reduce all forms of social vices, we need to support government efforts to reposition the sector since the task of developing sports should be left in the hands of government alone.
“I will ensure I replicate this kind of youth development program at the local government for our youths to exhibit their talents and potential.
“I’m calling on private individuals to support Prince Dapo Abiodun’s government to see how we can jointly reduce the crime rate in our society through sports programs like this. If we can engage our youths, they would not be involved in Cultism, thuggery, and other social vices.”
Ambassador Ogunsola, therefore, urged grassroots football coaches to invent programs to develop and nurture talents for the state football team, Gateway United Football Club.
