Speaking during the visit, Coach Mogaji highlighted the importance of sports as a vehicle for talent discovery, leadership development, discipline, and social integration. He assured the NYSC Coordinator that the Kwara State Sports Commission remains ready to collaborate with the scheme in organizing sporting activities and youth-oriented programmes that will positively impact corps members and residents of the state.
He congratulated Mr. Kafarda on his appointment as the new NYSC State Coordinator and pledged the Commission’s full support towards building a strong and productive relationship.
In his response, Mr. Musa Tukur Kafarda appreciated the warm reception and expressed his willingness to work closely with the Kwara State Sports Commission to promote the ideals of the NYSC through sports and other youth-focused initiatives.
