The Acting Chairman of Kano State Sports Commission, Malam Ibrahim Umar Fagge aka FIFA has been commended for his support towards the Safety and Security initiatives in Kano’s stadiums.

The commendation was made by Jamilu Uba Adamu, a Deputy Superintendent of Narcotics (DSN), on Thursday at the Sani Abacha Stadium after a Mini Workshop organized for the stadium staffers.

He thanks the Ag. Chairman for the opportunity given to him to contribute his quota to the prevention of any sad eventuality that may occur due to overcrowding in our stadiums.

Speaking during his presentation in  a lecture titled “Ensuring Safety and Security in Stadiums” Jamilu Uba  emphasized the crucial role of stadium stewards in maintaining safety and security.

He told those in attendance that the security and safety of lives and properties are all vested on you, so you must do everything necessary to do what is necessary to avert any danger that may occur.

The presenter also discussed the effective crowd management and access control which put more emphasis on controlling all the entry and exit points, and also monitoring crowd behavior.

He also stressed the importance of Identifying and Mitigating Potential Security Threats by being vigilant and prepared to respond to possible potential threats.

I was at the production unit of the Triumph Publishing Company, Kano but my keen interest in sports journalism made me to be sports writer and maintained a sports column called (Sports Eye) after my mentor Sani Muhammad Zaria transferred his service to New Nigeria newspapers in Kaduna. And when the government closed the Triumph in 2012, I was transfered to lectured DTP in the Department of Printing Technology of Kano State Polytechnic. And now that I retired, i used to visit the institution weekends for part-time lecturing.
