The Minister of Defence, Dr. Mohammed Bello, the armed forces would continue to promote sports and use it to build better military-civil relationship.
Bello made the assertion last weekend in Abuja at the flag-off of the 2012 “International Military Sports Council (CISM) Day Run.”
He described sports as a unifying factor that could bring people together.
The minister, who was represented by Mr Linus Awute, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry said that participation in sports was also critical to the development of the physical capacity of the military personnel.
“The armed forces of Nigeria are tasked with the responsibility of security of the nation and therefore, needs its personnel to be physically and mentally fit.”
