Members of the African Diplomatic Group have donated sports equipment to some poor but talented children at the Abuja Tennis Club in Abuja.
The humanitarian gesture was part of the group’s 2018 observance of Africa Day, which was celebrated in Abuja September 14, according to a statement by Nat Bayjay, Press and Public Affairs officer of Liberian Embassy, Abuja on behalf of the group.
Bayjay said Cameroon’s High Commissioner to Nigeria and Dean of the African Diplomatic Group, Salaheddine Abbas Ibrahima, while making the donation on behalf of the group, stressed the need for proper investment in the development of the youths that will promote peace and unity on the continent of Africa.
Ambassador Ibrahima said the need to invest in the youth is important to encourage social interaction among them.
“Generally, people see tennis as a game of the elites, but when we see less privileged children playing the game, it is a duty for us to help them grow. This is the motive of our action, it is the reason we gave them support to promote interaction among youth,” Ibrahima said.
