As part of its nationwide grassroots sports
development campaign, National Academicals Sports Committee (NASCOM) on June 6
got the Presidency backing for its noble initiative, when Mr. President
launched Rhythm N’ Play in Abuja.

According to
NASCOM Chairman, Yemi Idowu, Rhythm ‘N’ Play is an exciting youth-friendly
campaign aimed at enhancing mass youth participation in sporting activities and
age-grade competitions.

He added, “Rhythm ‘N’ Play will rely heavily on the
use of music, celebrities, volunteers, news media and other elements of pop
culture to amplify and realise its objectives. Mr. President launched the
campaign on June 6, first in Abuja.

As a popular Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike has been
commended from different quarters for fighting for Nigerian people whose rights
and voices are trampled upon. Recently, he was also appointed a member of the
board of Directors of Institute For Humanitarian Studies And Social Development
(IHSD). And not long after that, he was appointed into the Board of Okigwe
