Sahel Military Games Ends in Abuja


The Minister of Science Technology and Innovation, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu and the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor have commended athletes that participated in the just concluded first CDS Organisation of Military Sports in Africa (OSMA) Sahel Military Games tagged, “Abuja 2021” *for their sportsmanship.*

The Minister said, Nigeria has made history for successfully hosting the first Sahel Military Games. According to Dr Onu, the event brought together members of the armed forces from different African countries with the goal of ensuring a united Continent.

The Minister attributed the myriad of conflicts and crises experienced in some parts of Africa as part of the challenges of nation building. He urged African countries to leverage on sports to galvanize the much needed sustainable friendship, brotherhood and solidarity which are the ingredients required in building a united, peaceful and prosperous Continent.

The CDS, Gen Irabor, in his address, commended the athletes for their sportsmanship during the event saying that the main objective of the games in fostering unity, understanding and camaraderie within armed forces in the Continent was achieved.

The Defence Chief said the foundation of the Sahel games would foster future collaboration and cooperation among the armed forces in Africa. This, he said, is in the area of using non-kinetic means to resolve the security challenges across the Continent.

The OSMA Secretary General, Captaine De Fregate Djendola Piere, commended Nigeria and *her* Armed Forces for demonstrating commendable friendship, fraternity and active solidarity through hosting of the games.
