National Senior women's volleyball player, Jummai Bitrus said she is trying to give back to the society that brought her out of the streets into fame and stardom.
Bitrus stated this after the conclusion of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP's) volleyball clinic in Yola, Adamawa state.
The Nigeria number 1 Libero said the clinic done at Malkohi IDP Camp is the beginning of the hunting volleyball programme in IDP's in the North East.
She said, "I want to create an opportunity to greatness for the young children in the IDP's. I am trying to give back to the society that brought me out of the IDP's camp into stardom.
"I am ready to use the Jummai Bitrus initiative programme to develop hundreds of volleyball players in the North East."
“Opportunities don’t happen, you create them. Someone created an opportunity for me and It’s been a dream of mine to do the same for young.
The NSCDC player commended the North East Zonal Representative on Nigeria Volleyball Federation, DCP Stephen Hasso, Major General Taritimiye Gagariga, Commodore Mohammed Muye and others for their contribution in ensuring the clinic was a success.
Jummai Bitrus who hails from Adamawa State started out as a player with Adamawa Queens, rose gradually, first to the National Junior team, then to the highest level; participating at African Club Championships, African Senior Championship and Senior Olympic qualifiers.
