The Head Coach of  Under – 16 SKE FC of Port Harcourt, Tonye Omulabo, has blamed sports administrators in Rivers State for lack of sports programmes in the grassroots. 
He stated that any sports administrator who failed to planned programmes for the youth in the society has failed totally, adding that, is the youth that will take over in the next 5 to ten years coming.
Omulabo made the assersion yesterday in an exclusive interview with Tidesports just after they training session in Port Harcourt.
He pointed out that, when there is no programme in the grassroots to develop the youth in the sporting industry,  adding that, they are the ones that will take over the games in the next 10 years, notting that, there is a big problem in the industry.
“ When administrator in the sporting industry failed to planned for the youth in the grassroots they have failed totally.
I think the best way to develop the sporting industry is to have a lot of programmed in the grassroots.
A country like South Africa, they invest a lot in the grassroots.
I remember those days that we used to have Principle and master cups for the past 15 years nothing like that again,”Omulabo said.
He used the medium to call on sports administrators to bring back grassroots activities, so that the youth will be fully involved in sporting activities.
