Grassroots Development: FG begins Talent Hunt, Signs MoU on Schools Competition

The Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has reiterated its dogged and diligent commitment to resuscitate grassroots sports to discover and nurture talents, especially through the National Principals and Headmasters Cup competition. It is pertinent to state that deliberate policy has also been put in place to develop sports facilities and infrastructure to realize our talent hunt programme.

The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare, dropped these hints during the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Ministry and HideaPlus Ltd on organizing the National Principals and Headmasters Cup Competition.

Continuing, the Minister emphatically stated that Nigeria relies 99% on foreign football players to come play for the country anytime we have competition but talents can be discovered from the schools across the country.

To this end, Mr Sunday Dare said that we seek partnership with corporate organisations that has the requisite experience and ideas; as exemplified in this instance by HideaPlus ltd..
