Kwara Sports Council seeks increment in subvention

Date: 2014-03-06

The Kwara Sports Council on Wednesday appealed to the state government to increase its monthly subvention to enable it cope with its programmes.

The management of the council made the appeal in Ilorin when the newly appointed Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Saheed Popoola, visited the council on a familiarisation visit.

The acting chairman of the sports council, Tunde Aluko, called for an increase in the subvention of the council to take care of pressing needs.

Aluko also decried the rate at which contracts involving the council were being awarded without the knowledge of the management.

The Director of Sports in the state, Tunde Kazeem, praised the state government for boosting sports development in the state. He disclosed that the council won 24 trophies in 15 events in 2013 and hosted what he said was adjudged the best schools sports festival.

Kazeem, however, said the council needed more coaches and at least N10 million a month as subvention. The commissioner on arrival at the council's headquarters inside the state stadium complex was conducted round.

Popoola, while responding, reiterated the state government's readiness to ensure sports development in the state. He said the government would continue to use sports to boost the image of the state.

The commissioner also said that government would carry out necessary renovation of dilapidated structures and facilities in the stadium, especially the indoor sports hall soon.
