The minister said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was committed to youth development through sporting activities, and providing scholarship opportunities for the youth to pursue education.

In his remarks, Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina State lauded the minister for renovating the stadium, saying it demonstrated Federal Government commitment to youth development.

The governor disclosed that his administration had invested massively on sports development as a deliberate policy to engage the youth and tackle restiveness.

Masari advised the youth to strive to excel in their chosen careers and pledged government support where possible.

He said that the state government would maintain the facility and ensure its maximum utilisation.

Reports have it that the stadium was formerly handed over to the state government by the minister for utilisation and proper maintenance.

The event was attended by the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Farouk and hundreds of youth. (Vanguard)
