Sports Key to Building a Healthy and Ethical Society, Says Minister

Minister of Sports, Fitness and Recreation Abdulla Rafiu has highlighted the importance of sports in fostering a healthy society and strengthening the moral character of individuals.

He said sports play a significant role in teaching values such as respect, teamwork, punctuality and adherence to moral standards, which are relevant for people of all ages. 

He emphasised that instilling these values in children is essential, noting that a generation raised with such principles would contribute not only to the development of capable athletes but also to a healthier and more balanced society.

The Minister also said the government is pursuing this goal through major initiatives, including the establishment of fitness centres and outdoor gyms across the country.
