The chairman of Pacific School, Shasha, Mr. Remigious Omosowon, has decried the state of school sports, saying maladministration is a major problem in sports development in the country.

At the 5th biennial inter-house sports of the school, Omosowon appealed to parents to encourage their children to develop their full potentials in sports, as it is one of the best ways to launch them to stardom.

“Sport is a lucrative business and it is imperative to develop the potential of every child. Nigeria has not been able to tap the enormous economic potentials in sports because the sector, like every other sector in the country, is being mismanaged.

“Sports stars make fortunes and are known worldwide while engineers, doctors and professors are little known beyond their territories.”
