Yassin commits to collaborating with NSC

President of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), KA Juman-Yassin, while sending best wishes to the newly appointed National Sports Commission, expressed his intent to work along with the Board.
The National Sports Commission is expected to get going soon, following this week’s appointment of its new board. At the helm of that Board is Chairman Kashif Mohammed, who is no stranger to sport organisation and administration.
According to the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) President K A Juman Yassin, an experienced person leading the body is just what the Commission needs.
“I would like to wish Mr. Kashif all the best. You know, he’s been in sport a long time, as an administrator, an organiser, and perhaps that is what is needed. So, I want to wish him all the best, and I think it’s time enough to get the National Sports Commission going,” the GOA President expressed during a press conference with media operatives earlier this week.
Yassin has shared that he is keen on partnering with the NSC for the betterment of sport.
“Once the appointments are there – I understand persons have already been appointed – we, when I say ‘we’, (I mean) the GOA, we are willing to work along with them,” Yassin declared.
He then added, “I’ve said that if we pool our resources, we can do a lot.”
Speaking specifically to the fruit that partnership could bare, the GOA Boss gave an example of one project the two entities could team up to execute.
“You know, if we pool our resources as it regards funding for coaches, we would be able to give a coach a very decent salary. So, I’m hoping we could talk with the new Sports Commission about this and other matters,” Yassin explained.
A six member NSC board was recently appointed following approval from the Cabinet. The Commission consists of renowned football organizer Kashif Mohammed, who will act in the capacity of Chairman; Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) President Bissoondyal Singh, Guyana Lawn Tennis Association President Christy Campbell, Guyana Hockey Board President Phillip Fernandes, Chartered Accountant Cheteram Ramdial, and Dellon Davidson. The appointment of the Director of Sport is expected to come soon.
