President Goodluck Jonathan has promised more support for the development of the Nigeria Police Games to enable it to discover more talents for international competitions.

Jonathan made the promise in Port Harcourt during the closing ceremony of the 10th Biennial Police Games on Sunday.

The president said the support was necessary to promote sportsmen in the police force and to also enhance the nation’s sports development.

Represented by Vice-President Namadi Sambo, the president said the importance of Nigeria Police to securing the nation could not be over-emphasised.

”The history of Nigeria will not be complete without the roles the police played in the development of the country,” Jonathan said.

He said Nigeria recorded a remarkable achievement from the police, commending the legends that had been discovered through the Police Games.

”To all the participants in the 10th biennial games in Port Harcourt, I urge you to consider your participation in the games as an honour to Nigeria,” he said.
