The second phase of the 2023 Nigeria Beach Soccer League (NBSL) got underway during the weekend with then governor-elect and now governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani among the dignitaries that watched the opening match at the Murtala Muhammed Square, Kaduna.
He promised to support the development of the game in Kaduna State and Nigeria in general as the state beach soccer team seeks to be the best in the country.
He described sports as a unifying factor and important tool for growth and development.
“Kaduna State is the capital of Northern Nigeria and we are proud to see that we have a lot of young talented Beach soccer players. I have no doubt in my mind that we will continue to be the best in Nigeria.
“As the Governor by the grace of God, I will continue to support this very important initiative. Sports is a very important aspect of our life and it’s something that will give our youths the opportunity to also explore and have something to do for themselves.
“Everyone has his own God given talents. What we need to do is to encourage and support them. They can also be an inspiration to other youths who will see what they are doing and will try to emulate that. We would do our best to support them and I can assure you that we would continue to partner with you as our team in Kaduna State.”
