NEWLY-INSTALLED Pillar of Sports in Nigeria, Chief Donatus Agu-Ejidike has reiterated his commitment to sports development in the country through developmental programmes and promotion of sports.
Ejidike in a statement lauded the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria, SWAN who considered him for the exalted position in line with his past contributions.
He noted that the task he is saddled with is a big one which required collective support of all stakeholders, just as he called on SWAN and eminent stakeholders to rally support for him with useful advice and suggestions that could help Nigeria to grow in sports.
“It is a common phenomenon that for any nation to be peaceful, her youths must be gainfully engaged and steer clear of all social vices and juvenile delinquencies; and to tackle such, sports is a veritable tool to gainfully engage the youth”. he said.
Ejidike who was presented with letter of appointment by the National President of SWAN,
Mallam Saidu Abubakar promised to do his best in the aspect of sports development in Nigeria.
He charged SWAN to come up with programmes that could be supported by the Office of the
Pillar of Sports In Nigeria through partnership and sponsorship.
“I feel very proud of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria, SWAN for their objectivity and analyses of sporting activities in the country, SWAN can be adjudged as the best and number one in Africa. However, I want to appeal that they continue to do it without sentiments,” Ejidike reiterated.
