He made this known through his representative, Col KN Ndamadu at the 22nd Annual Inter-House Sports competition of Command Day Secondary School, CDSS, Ojo,  where he was the special guest of honour, which saw Rhinoceros, Dragon and Stallion houses come first, second and third respectively.
Speaking on the essence of sports in nation and child development, the Commandant, Command Day Secondary School, Lt. Col. U. A Ndana said: “Sport is a global unifying force. In Nigeria, one cannot underestimate the power of unity behind the language of sports. Here in CDSS Ojo, we have the task of producing wholesome young men and women who are academically fit to face the daunting challenges of life.
“Among all the extra-curricular activities available within the school, sports exercise the mental, emotional and physical reserves of the students.
“The benefits that accrue from sporting events are inexhaustible. Gone are the days when students who excelled more in sports while in school were seen as drop- outs. When the talents of these students are discovered early enough, if well monitored, they become the Kanu Nwankwos and Mary Onyalis of our time; some might study Physical and Health Education in higher institutions.
“They learn early in life to be articulate and focused and with sound minds, they learn that life is not a do or die affair. This helps them build stronger relationships later in life.”
