In a bid to foster all-round learning, the FCT Administration has assured that it will continue to support sport development in schools, for the mental and kinetic development of students.
This assurance was given by the FCTA Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olusade Adesola, during the presentation of winners of the 23rd edition of Nestle Milo Secondary School Basketball Championship, recently, in Abuja.
Our correspondent reports that while the male team of Government Secondary School Karu, FCT, won the male category of the competition, the female team of the same school came second in the female category.
Adesola, who congratulated the team for the laudable feat, added that the FCTA would continue to support youth to develop their skills in sport.
He pointed out that sport was one of the activities highly recognised for its significant contribution to the development of children, particularly while in school.
“Sport is not just a play; it comes with a lot of reward, great fame and adds meaning to life.
“This adds to the credence that in FCT, we do not only teach but we develop the kinetic mental capacity of children to grow and achieve their full potential.
“We look forward to seeing many of you in the national team, because basketball is a very big business,” he said.
Furthermore, the permanent secretary reiterated that the FCTA would do everything possible for the boys to participate at the World School Basketball Championship in China at the end of the year.
