“In my organization, we have done a lot in terms of taking youths off the streets and giving them opportunities in sport. Many youths are employed in my organization because of sports. I believe all other organizations here are doing the same and if we can improve on these efforts, we are going to take many more youths off the streets and cybercrimes will definitely reduce. Even issues of insecurity issues will be tackled more effectively because many youths will be engaged and their talents harnessed”, he said.
Responding, Abdullahi appreciated the delegates for the visit and expressed his willingness to collaborate with them in promoting sporting activities among agencies.
“Sport is one of the biggest labor markets in the world. It is either you are watching, selling or participating. So, I appreciate all your commitments, especially for coming together to give sports a more effective direction.
EFCC Boss
I am ready to play any role for this organization to make sure that it survives and for the purpose of agencies coming together. Let us also take our time to visit all the Heads of Parastatals to tell them our aims and objectives. We have many talents in various organizations that we don’t know. Let us discover them so that we can train people that will represent Nigeria and if we form a paramilitary team, I believe no team in Africa can beat us” he said.

Representing the leader of the delegation, Lawal Oladipo, Commandant of Sport, Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCD, disclosed the need for Armed Forces, Police and Paramilitary Agencies to foster stronger relationships in sports as it will boost coordination and information sharing for national security.
