The Plateau Chapter of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) urges Governor Simon Lalong to develop the sports sector in the state.
Mr Agabus Pwanagba, the Secretary of the Association in the state, congratulatory message to the governor over his re-election.
Plateau had over time remained the hub of talent hunt in the country, hence the need for the governor to pay more attention to developing the sector during his second tenure.
The secretary acknowledged Lalong’s support to football and golf games, but advised him to expand the scope of his support to other sporting activities to restore the lost glory of the state as the “Home of Sports”.
The secretary said the association further calling on the governor, who is also its Grand Patron, to focus on sports development at the grassroots, with a view to identifying, nurturing and encouraging young talents.
He expressed optimism that sports if properly harnessed, would help the Lalong-led administration in engaging the youth and stemming restiveness.
