Skating federation to partner security agencies to curb highway skating

By Daily Sports on June 23, 2016

The Roller Sports Federation Nigeria (RSFN) says it will collaborate with the law enforcement agencies to curb indiscriminate skating on the highways by lovers of the sport.

The federation’s President, Joseph Evah, made the disclosure to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos while reflecting on the body’s maiden national congress on June 18 in Lagos.

“We are planning how skating will be done in an acceptable way. The habit of skaters holding on to a moving vehicle must be stopped forthwith.

“Skating on the highway could be fatal, but we will regulate the sport by instilling discipline in skaters. A taskforce will be set up to ensure compliance.”

Evah, who said the sport that was introduced into the country about 10 years ago, added that it was fast becoming the toast of many youths.

“The number of interested youths is unprecedented and I think that in a few years to come, Nigeria will produce champions who will win medals at international competitions.

“The youths, both males and females are ready and we will not discourage anyone; I am ready to fund this federation with my money if the need arise.

“The federation will do anything humanly possible to ensure that the sport do not die like others that are not well organised; we will sustain this tempo.”

Evah thanked the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) for supporting the federation in its formative years, adding that the federation would justify the support. (NAN)
