DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATION AND SOCIETY AT LARGE

Employment and economic growth emerge as a result of sports. In places like the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, France and Germany, football leagues provide massive employment for many citizens.  Again, in the United Kingdom American football amongst other sports are very prominent and lucrative sporting activities. Huge funds are used to run such business-centred competitions and this further helps to balance the cash flow of the associated countries. The electronic entertainment industry has also tapped into the leisure aspect of sports by producing gaming appliances for global consumers. As such, more people are employed globally, and economies grow. We believe that Nigeria’s economic growth will be immensely boosted as well if the country actively engages in this sport.

The right to education and equal rights of women and girls in the field of education form the basis of this goal. Inclusive sport activities have long been used to foster education and have therefore been identified as a tool to advance those rights. Sport can encourage inclusion and the equal participation of women and girls, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable or underrepresented groups and individuals thereby indirectly leading to the growth and development of the Nation.
