After having her best performance in the just concluded National Sprts Festival in Ogun State where Plateau State finished as the best in the whole north and 12th nationally on the final medals table with 8 gold medals, 13 silver medals and 26 bronze medals, to amass a total of 47 medals, the Plateau State Commissioner for Youths and Sports Development, Hon. Musa Ashoms has set the bar high towards the next edition.According to Hon. Musa Ashoms: “Talents wise, we are a hub in Nigeria. We are looking at going to secondary schools to donate table tennis and other simple sporting equipments to help facilitate their sporting activities.”The Commissioner continues: “We realised that in the just concluded National Sprts Festival we participated in, we had no camp! But now we will have one as we will be going to Delta for the National Youth Games. The 47 total medals we had is insignificant compared to what Delta, Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, and others finished with. We finished first jn the Northern part of this Country but 12th overall out of the 36 States. It’s fair comparing to our previous outing, but not good enough. The Governor is happy, but he will be happier when our placement gets better in the next edition. So we will continue to encourage both individuals and team Sports ahead.”The amiable and results oriented Hon. Musa Ashoms concludes: “We want to use this medium to specially thank our athletes who came from abroad as well as our journalists who gave an excellent reportage during the Sports festival. Mark my words, Sports will surely be transformed as far as this administration is concerned.”
