Emir of Zazzau seeks improved funding for horse racing

By Mohammed Baba Busu

The Emir of Zazzau, in Kaduna State, Amb. Ahmad Nuhu-Bamali, has urged the Federal and state governments and other stakeholders to accord top priority to horse racing in Nigeria.

“It is not too exciting that more attention is now given to other sports, especially football.

 

“What I am saying here is that attention to sports is too lopsided in favour of football and this ugly trend should be redressed,”he told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna on Wednesday.

NAN reports that Nuhu-Bamali spoke on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the maiden International Horse Racing Derby held in Kaduna.

It was organised by the Horse Racing Federation of Nigeria (HRFN), with Alhaji Mustapha Abubakar, Sarkin Dawakin Nupe as the National Coordinator

NAN also reports that the horse race was themed, “Hope Renewed 1st Year Democracy Derby 2nd Edition Under Division System Race’.

According to the emir, there is the need for more funding, provision of facilities as well as the sponsorship of more local and intentional horse racing events.

 

He said,” I am too excited and the event is very significant in bolstering national unity and socioeconomic development of the country and Africa.

“Sports brings people, communities and countries together. This derby will be sustained and replicated,” the Grand Patron of the federation added.

The Emir of Machina in Yobe, Dr Bashir Bukar, also underscored the importance of sports as a major unifying factor in Nigeria and across the globe.

Bukar urged that horse racing should be made as one of the federation sports in the country sequel to its invaluable significance.

Similarly, the Speaker of the Kaduna State, Alhaji Yusuf Liman extolled the keen enthusiasm and passion of the participating youths and horse owners.

“I will use my good offices to attract more attention to horse racing and sports in general,” Liman said.

In his comments, the Kaduna State Commissioner for Sports Development, Prof. Benjamin Kumai-Gugong said, “horse racing shows royalty and glamour.

“In Kaduna State, we will give horse racing a renewed vigour to take it to greater heights.”

Abubakar said that the federation would ensure the sustainability of the event and its replication in parts of Nigeria and Africa.

“We will do everything humanly possible to take horse racing to the next level.

“Horse racing will be made not only a northern affair but a national and an African affair,” he added.(NAN)
