NIS Delegation Praises Kwara's Sports Facilities Potential
A delegation from the National Institute for Sports (NIS), led by Registrar Mr Belmond Benson, visited Kwara State to evaluate the quality of sports facilities. The inspection aimed to assess the suitability of these facilities for coaching education, sports training, and professional programs.
Benson stated that the NIS, under Director-General Comrade Philip Shaibu, is dedicated to developing coaches and sports personnel while nurturing talent for national and international competitions. He commended the Kwara State Government, particularly Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for investing in sports infrastructure, including an indoor sports hall and swimming pool.
The delegation noted that Kwara could become the first state outside Lagos to host an NIS office, pending necessary approvals. Benson emphasized the importance of maintaining these facilities for long-term use and highlighted grassroots sports initiatives that involve young children, which are crucial for identifying and developing future athletes.
