“I must commend Somewhere Hospitality And Management Hub who in partnership with the Shendam Local Government Council, led by the dynamic and the unstoppable bulldozer, Hon. Dr. Kemi Nshe for this great project in the heart of Shendam. One of the most proven and realistic means of curbing crimes, social vices, and youths excesses and restlessness is by engaging them in sporting activities and this can only happen by providing these sports facilities for them.”
These are the words of the Chairman of Plateau State Football Association, Hon. Dr . Prince Suleiman Yahaya Kwande during the Commissioning of the very first artificial grass futsal pitch outside Jos North and Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Hon. Dr. Prince Suleiman Yahaya Kwande, who says he could not turned than the invitation to be part of the first stage commissioning of the Sports events center that has Volleyball court, Basketball Court and Tennis Court apart from the Futsal synthetic pitch, enjoined the Local Government Councils Chairmen like QuaanPan, Wase and Langtang South present at the event to do same too.
Shendam Local Government Council Chairman, Hon. Dr. Kemi Nshe, while commissioning the Sports Hub said: “This is just the symbolic opening of this facility, the official commissioning will be done by the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang. I promise you in the next one month, everything will be perfectly put in shape and this environment will wear a new lock for the benefit of our youths. This place will serve as a Sports and recreational center for both the young and the old.”
A visibly happy and fulfilled Co-Founder of Somewhere Hospitality And Management Hub, Rangnaan Kangnaan, while speaking with www.ssimedia247.com.ng says: “Sports usually bring people together, create connections and even put food on the table. We brought this to Shendam, as it’s said: ‘Charity must begin at home. So that we can engage our youths. We make sure that light is provided here, which means that both football, volleyball, basketball and tennis can be played at night as well. Imagine what most of them engage themselves in the night, we believe this will curb a lot of their excesses and youthful exuberance. And who knows whether the next Ronaldo, Messi, Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will come out of here.”
He concludes: “Although it’s our initiative, but this wouldn’t have happened if the Chairman of Shendam Local Government Area, Hon. Dr. Kemi Nshe had not bought the idea and keyed into the vision. He gave us this land free of charge amongst other support and this gingered us to add other sports like Basketball, Volleyball and Tennis to it apart from the 5-aside Football, Futsal to make it a sports center. People that are not playing can come and relax with friends and family as well. All will surely be provided after completion.”
The Sports celebration, matches and merriment was preceded over by observing a minute silence to honour those who lost their lives in Bokkos and Bassa local government areas.
