Speaking at the 2021 Annual Admiral Porbeni Boat Race at the Jabi Lake, on Saturday, Abuja.
The Minister said “Let me sincerely commend the efforts of Admiral Porbeni for the sustainability of this annual race in the last couple of years. His efforts have not only improved our ratings as the number one country in Africa, it has ensured that we qualified for the Olympics and Paralympics in Para, Canoeing and Para Rowing.
“I congratulate you and the athletes and urge you to use this event as a springboard for the other qualifiers. Be rest assured of the Ministry’s commitment and support to actualize the dreams of our athletes to win laurels for our fatherland.”
The Minister further said” I’m most encouraged by your zeal and commitment towards the sustainability of this competition. This should motivate other Federations to key into the philosophy of the Ministry of Youth and sports Development.
Since sports development cannot take place without competition, no athletes can excel without proper motivation and welfare. You cannot let your sails down or allow your boat of success drift away”

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
