FCTA permanent secretary, Mr Olusade Adesola, made the pledge on Tuesday when he signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ratel Sports Development Funds (RSDF) to co-host the FCT School Sports Festival. 

He described the signing of the MoU as a watershed, saying it will mark the beginning of a fulfilling promise for FCT as a center of unity. 

“FCT is the center of unity, a city of government and the capital of the nation. It is in FCT that you see the presence of all the nationalities working hard to prove their mettle, it means that we have all the talents here in FCT. You are here to support us to bring up these talents that are present in our schools, and all the nooks and crannies of the FCT.

“Your role is to support our efforts to identify and nurture the talents. The signing of this MoU is therefore an invitation to support the Education Secretariat to double the performance of our school students in sports,” Olusola said.
