Be Creative, RMRDC Sports Club Chairman Urges Athletes

The newly selected chairman of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC) sports club, Mrs Amina Abdulmalik, has urged sports personnel and athletes in the country to be creative to change the narrative and retain the fame of the nation through sports.

Abdulmalik stated this during the handover and inauguration of the newly selected RMRDC Sports Club on Tuesday, in Abuja, even as she promised to bring modern innovation to sports and the Council. She also pledged efforts for more inclusiveness since it is important for mental alertness of the staff.

She said “I believe this is one of the key things the Council is concerned about. We were all competitors but our differences are nothing to be compared to what we can achieve together. The task ahead of us is very challenging, so we need everyone’s support and participation, especially the outgoing executive.

“For instance, our plan for FEPSGA games is to put all that we’ve got into it. We are very prepared, so we can feature there and top the chart by God’s Grace. We will not fall short between one and three to bring home many medals of sports because at this level RMRDC is around the level of ten.

“The most important thing on ground is the FEPSGA games which we will attend immediately alongside our outgoing chairman and executives. We’re in this together; one thing I can assure us is inclusiveness, fairness and transparency.”

Speaking earlier, the outgoing chairman Mr. Batako Lapai, admonished the new executives saying “the task ahead of you is very difficult and you need prayers because managing human beings is more difficult than any other thing.

“The shortcomings of the immediate past executives should be an eye opener and my pleasure and happiness is that there are some incumbents that are part of the executive that should tap into their experience to take us very far. We at the other part of the wing will support and pray for the success of the club in general.”
