OVER the years, many talents have been discovered for the national teams in various sports in secondary schools, polytechnics, colleges and universities.
In football, athletics, table tennis and volleyball, among others, many young men and women were discovered in schools and they went on to do the nation proud on the continental and global stages.
Nowadays, not much is being heard about school sports, yet this avenue, if gainfully explored and leveraged upon, should prove pivotal for sports development in the country.
Nigeria must consciously develop a catch-them-young policy in sports, beginning from primary to tertiary education.
This is the way to go if the nation hopes to transform its talented youths into world beaters.
There are raw talents everywhere that can be polished to become masters in their games and bring honour and glory to the nation.
In this connection, the local, state and federal governments must invest heavily in school sports.
It is an investment that will yield bountiful dividends in no time.
