The major Cardinal Objectives of the present administration of Jos North Local Government is sports development through which many youths will be empowered by creating lots of avenues for job creation.
This was the reaction of the Executive Chairman of Jos North Local Government, Barr.JK Chris, to ssimedia247.com.ng after his LG defeated their Jos South counterparts 2-1 in the second semi final of the ongoing Governor’s Cup at the Jos New Stadium.
” getting to the final of the years edition is no mean feat as we narrowly lost to Mangu LG last year in the final, so we are winning this time around. Remember, one of our Cardinal Objectives as an administration is youths Empowerment which one is through sports development and upgrading of facilities in our communities to engage these youths positively”.
Barr JK Chris, also assured that the football fraternity in the state, Nigeria and the world should be ready to welcome players in all sports not football alone from Jos North.
” all our programmes are geared towards unleashing sports talents not only Football to the world from our Local Government and I assure you this will start after we lift the trophy on the final day, as the tour the last silver winning team could not embark upon will be actualise”.
It would be recalled that Jos North defeated her Southern counterparts, Jos South 2-1 to get the final ticket where they will face Shendam LG who earlier edged out Mikang LG by a lone goal.
We await the date for the final as the PFA led by Hon Dr Suleiman Yahaya Kwande led board has done a tremendous job in revitalising grassroots football in the state.
