Minister urges youths to embrace Physical Education

The Deputy Minister of Sports Mr. Ismail Al Sankoh-Conteh, has advised the youths not to relegate physical activities such as sports to the background, but rather they should pay much attention to them.

He said sports were now regarded as a career for many people with huge financial benefits. He added that beside its health benefits, sports fosters and promotes unity and leads to developing a sense of discipline among persons who take active interest in it.

Mr. Al Sankoh-Conteh was speaking to the Sierra Express Media shortly after he donated an disclosed amount of money to the Wilberforce Amateur Football community that is organizing football leagues within the Wilberforce community.

The Deputy Minister stated that in as much as sports as a career has become lucrative, it was equally important for the youths to pursue formal education to put them on a strong footing.

Mr. Al- Sankoh-Conteh charged them not to joke with their education “for without education it will be very difficult to succeed in whichever field you thread on.”

He impressed upon parents and guardians not to only invest in the field of education of their children but to also monitor their progress.
