The Senator representing Kwara North in the National Assembly said, “It is a no brainer that the youths are the future of this country and if you don't develop and support them, if you don't fill in the passion with something, they will be derailed”.

“So watch out for our programs in the days ahead,” the senator said.
Speaking further, the Senate committee chairman explained that there is a need to extensively capture youths properly for sports development.
