Special Adviser to the President on Social Investments Maryam Uwais announced this while addressing participants at the opening ceremony of a training programme for Coaches in Abuja. The event is a three-day training programme for 20 sports coaches drawn from five states and four nominated by the Federal Government will act as monitors.
Tagged “Line Up, Live Up training for coaches” LULU, the programme is being facilitated on the platform of the At-Risk-Children Programme ARC-P, an initiative of the Office of the Vice President.
States benefiting from the first phase of the training programme are Kaduna, Gombe, Ekiti, Sokoto and Borno. It is directly supervised by the Special Adviser to the President on Social Investments, with support from the UN Office on Drugs and Crimes UNODC.
Maryam said the coaching course was one of the many interventions of the ARC-P initiative of the Federal Government geared towards addressing the cross-cutting concerns of children at risk, thereby providing them with a life of dignity.
