The Commander Armoured Corps in Bauchi, Major General JO Komolafe, on Monday described sporting activities as a major strategy to manage the growing youth population and to control their restiveness as well as social instability in the Country.
Komolafe, who was a special guest of honour at the novels football match between youths of Shadawanka and Obienu Barracks in Bauchi over the weekend emphasised that the aim of the competition was to foster unity and mutual cooperation between the youths of the Cantonment.
The Commander who hosted the competition, added that sport may also remove young people from negative influences like anti-social peer groups, drugs and alcohol, low-self esteem and boredom.
According to him, organising such an event would serve as a strategy to manage the growing youth population and to control their restiveness as well as social instability in the Country.
The Novelty Football Match commenced with a symbolic kick-off by the Special Guest of Honour.
The match ended with a 2-2 draw between the two teams.
