Kwara dissolves sport associations

The sports association in Kwara was dissolved by the state's sports council on Tuesday, May 25, 2021.

A letter confirming the dissolution was signed by the Director of Sports, Mallam Ibrahim Alarape on May, 24.

The associations were constituted and inaugurated three and a half years ago, to midwife the development of the 28 sporting events in the state.

“I wish to notify the Sports Association Chairmen of the decision of Kwara State Sports Council to dissolve all the associations with immediate effect,” the letter reads in part.

“Within the last three and a half years, many of the Sports Associations performed remarkably well in terms of development and achievement in their sports, which eclipsed at the just concluded National Sports Festival in Edo state.

“I wish to thank all Chairmen and members for their contributions within the period they served,” he said.

Alarape later told newsmen in Ilorin that he met with the coaches and secretaries of the sports associations, adding that new chairmen and members will emerge in the next one month, reports Today.ng.

He warned against recycling unproductive members as he pledged not to interfere with their selection processes.
