Ramson, Ninvalle, Mohammed assess sport facilities

Three of the moment’s most influential stakeholders in sport teamed up on Friday afternoon for tours of several sport facilities in Georgetown. During the engagement, the parties expressed confidence in their ability to push sport forward.
Sport Minister Charles Ramson Jr., Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle and Chairman of the National Sports Commission Kashif Mohammad, on Friday embarked on tours of the Gymnasium, the Cliff Anderson’s Sports Hall, the Racquet Centre and Colgrain Pool, to assess ongoing work at those venues and determine how other can be bettered.
“We have some pretty significant projects going on,” Ramson Jr. commented.
The tour, mainly for the purpose of brining the Ninvalle up to speed after his appointment was a fruitful one for the trio.
According to Ramson, who expressed faith in hic colleagues, they are looking to meet the needs of aspiring Sportsmen and Women.

“Sport is in a far better place now, with the new Sports Commission and it’s also in a far better place now with the new Director of Sport and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport is going to continue to support the operations and see the programs, projects and the overall policy of the government is implemented. So that it meets the need of people, especially young people who are playing sport,” Ramson indicated.
Upon reflection, Ramson also shed some light on the meeting they had earlier this week and the objectives of the gathering.
“We had a meeting two days ago where we had a full discussion about the direction of the Ministry, our overall policy, what our expectation is, what are our priorities and then I’d asked for the Director of Sport to meet me again, so that we could have an almost ‘on the ground’ updating of where our projects are,” the Sport Minister revealed.
On the other hand, Director of Sport Ninvalle shared sentiments with Ramson about the solidity of the team noting that developing sport will be a team effort.
“As the Minister rightfully said, this new Commission will be carrying out the mandate. We expect that all hands will be on deck because as I said before, this is purely team effort and I must say I feel confident having the Chairman that we have and the other members of the Commission,” the recently appointed Director of Sport explained.
He added, “It’s a lot of work to be done and if we focus, we’ll be able to carry out the mandate that we have.”
