The Management of Cynosure Football Club on Wednesday celebrated the International Youth Day with a call on youths to shun abuse of sex and drugs.
Addressing players and officials of the club in an online seminar organised to mark this year’s celebration, the Chairman of the club Prince Nwaeze stated that the celebration provided an opportunity to celebrate the youth and appreciate young people’s actions and initiatives.
According to him ” footballers, as well as athletes, are no less immune to sex or drug abuse and addiction than anyone else, and their risks may be heightened by the intense pressure to perform.
” As a club, we are very concerned about the health and welfare of our players and that is why we had to organise this online seminar for our players and official. We are hopeful that with what they have learned, they will be better individuals”.
The celebration was marked with two lecture sessions as well as the distribution of palliative to players and officials.
The aim of the International Youth Day 2020 is to shed light on the need to enable the engagement of youth by making local, national and global institutions more inclusive for the purpose of strengthening their capacity (and relevance) to achieve global action.
