He acknowledged and appreciated the kwara state government for its supports in hosting the National Youths Games over the years and solicited for more. Responding, Alabi restated government's commitment to developing grassroots sports for discovery of more talents.

Alabi, who recalled his playing days in the seventies as a footballer and handballer, identified sports as a unifying factor among Nigerians.
