The All Progressive Congress (APC) Youth Leader, Dayo Israel, has said Nigerian youths should be encouraged to take up sports as a lucrative vocation that would aid President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s fight against restiveness, crime and unemployment.
Israel spoke with the media at the Nest Resource Centre in Abuja, venue of the viewing party of the 2025 Community Shield, where hundreds of fans watched the match.
He said the recent huge incentives and national awards given by Tinubu to Nigerian sports teams that excelled at recent international events was a testament to the massive benefits that were possible when youths and sports are effectively connected.
Speaking further, Dayo Israel urged youths of any political affiliation to take advantage of the hub in the Wuse 2 area of the FCT to network, interact and play games, an effective escape from the rigours of daily struggle, aside from the other activities, to better the lives of the youths of our great country, Nigeria.
The English FA Community Shield match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace, which was eventually won by Crystal Palace on penalty shootout, was attended by members of the National Assembly, youth stakeholders, the media and friends of the APC youth leader.
