PRIMARY and secondary school athletes in Cross River State are to be provided with sporting canvass, jerseys and other kits in the next edition of the Primnary and Secondary Schools Championships.
.
The deputy governor, Efiok Cobham, said this while speaking at the closing ceremony of the 2013 Primary/Secondary Schools Athletics and Swimming Championship which ended in Calabar at the weekend.
.
"No child in this state should be running on bare foot because they represent the future of this state in sporting competitions nationally and internationally".
.
The contingent from Calabar Municipality emerged winners (athletics) in the secondary schools category with 11 gold, six silver and nine bronze while their counterparts from Ikom won nine gold, one silver and two bronze and Akpabuyo six Gold, nine silver and 11 bronze to pick the second and third slots respectively in that category.
It would definately be a good thing for sport to be introduced in every school in Nigeria. Students need to exercise.
