Flamingos' Feat: NAWOJ Demands Sustained Investment in Girls' Sports
The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter, has called on the Federal Government to sustain investments in women's football following the outstanding performance of Nigeria's U-17 female team, the Flamingos, on the international stage.
In a statement released on Sunday, the association commended the Federal Government and the National Sports Commission for their efforts in repositioning the sports sector. However, they urged authorities to go beyond celebration and take concrete actions.
The NAWOJ statement highlighted the importance of improved facilities, adequate welfare for athletes and coaches, and increased funding for grassroots sports development, particularly in schools and communities.
The Flamingos' success has once again demonstrated the abundance of talent in Nigeria. NAWOJ, Ogun State Chapter, therefore, calls for increased investment in grassroots sports development, where many talented young girls remain undiscovered due to inadequate facilities, limited funding, and insufficient institutional support.
