Dimapur, Jan. 13 (EMN): The WCYO biennial sports meet held at Bade village concluded on Jan. 12 with Kudecho Khamo, former NDPP candidate and chairman, Entrepreneurs Development Agency as the guest of honour at the closing function.
Khamo in his speech said it is God’s providence that has brought the youth from the community to this particular platform in Dimapur which is considered the best in the state. He said Dimapur though inhabited by citizens of different communities speaking different languages and having diverse cultural, social and religious backgrounds, is a shining example of the beauty of unity in diversity.
Khamo said the youth should not expect others to build their future but should make plans for their own future as the doors of opportunity lie open before them. Adding that sports today is not just a hobby but a serious career option, he said only the fittest can survive in the arena and exhorted the youth to strive for the highest level of perfection not only in sports but in all disciplines.
Khamo also urged the youth to protect their identity, uphold their honesty and guard their integrity at all costs.
