NSA Boss Dr. Emmanuel Saffa Abdulai has taken the collective fight against Kush and Crime in sport to Calaba Town using a community league as a channel.
This came two months after Grafton Kush addicts had called on him to help with medical treatment and to create the enabling environment that would spur their return to football.
The youths highlighted the recent transformation of sports in Sierra Leone, especially in football, and credited Dr. Abdulai’s leadership which has made sport an enticing destination. They believe that with a vision for sports, they can overcome their challenges and make a difference.
Two months ago, Dr. Abdulai brought together eighty sports administrators from 59 sporting associations to contribute to the well-being of the Anti-doping Act and Position of Trust Regulation, all of which aim at promoting sports.
The National Sports Authority is an agency of Government established by an Act of Parliament with the mandate to promote, encourage, develop, and supervise all sports and sporting activities in Sierra Leone and to provide for other related matters.
