The National Sports Authority (NSA), through its Chief Dr. Emmanuel Saffa Abdulai, on Friday certified ten law graduates who helped the agency develop statutory instruments to guide sports development.
In a certification ceremony held at NSA’s Signal Hill Road office in Freetown, Dr. Abdulai said the five regulations developed by the graduate volunteers will benefit Sierra Leoneans, especially the sports sector, whose success hinges on statutes.
He called the contribution of the volunteers a huge national sacrifice that cannot be forgotten in a hurry. “Apart from the certificates, your reward for this work is tangible and everlasting,” Dr. Abdulai said.
Representing the NSA Technical Committee, Director Steven Keifala congratulated the volunteers for their unique contribution to the sports sector.
“Your level of research for these regulations is top-notch. The outcome will serve as a blueprint for sports development,” Keifala added.
On behalf of the volunteers, Margaret Sesay thanked Dr. Abdulai for the opportunity. “Indeed, our three-month internship exposed us to immeasurable opportunities,” she said.
The Sports Development Fund, the Anti-doping Authority, the Position of Trust Regulations, and the Court of Arbitration are among the regulations developed by the student volunteers.
