SWAN begs Kwara governor to assist injured Kwara United player

The Kwara chapter of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has appealed to Gov. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to give the injured Kwara United player, Abdulsalam Abdulsalam, special treatment considering the nature of his injury.

The appeal was made on Monday in Ilorin when executive members of SWAN paid the player a visit at the General Hospital, Ilorin.

Abdulsalam sustained a fracture on his left leg a minute into Kwara United’s 1-0 victory over Wikki Tourists of Bauchi in Nigeria Professional Football League, (NPFL) match day 24 in Ilorin.

The state SWAN Chairman, Malam Jimoh Bashir, said considering the nature of the injury and past experiences, Abdulsalam needed special treatment, and if need be, should be flown abroad to ensure adequate treatment.

“Experiences have shown that this kind of injury must be treated abroad so that the young boy can return to playing football again soon.

“We are appealing to His Excellency, Alhaji AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, not only as a governor, but as a father who will do anything to sustain the career of his child.

“We believe the special treatment will make him recover on time and his career will not be at danger at all,”Bashir said.

He commended the governor for giving serious attention to sports development since he assumed office, especially with the return of the state’s sports festival after it was abandoned for more than 15 years.

Bashir also commended the management of Kwara United for its proactive measure and for assuring the player of the best of medical treatment.

He further commended the staff, players and other stakeholders for rising to the occasion which ensured that the player was not neglected.

The chairman presented some items to the player on behalf of the association as its token toward his treatment.

Responding, Abdulsalam thanked the SWAN executive for standing by him and wished them well in all their undertakings. (NAN)
