Samuel A Anyanwu, Dr. Charity N, Igbokwe, Dr. Grace U. Amadi

Abstract


The paper begins with the background information about the nomadic and migrant fishing community and how they have contributed to the economic and social development of Nigeria for over ten centuries. But much impact was not felt on sports participation like the disabled sports. A portion of this paper, presents a review of the efforts made so far on nomadic education, the place of physical and health education and the challenges the subject encountered. The paper recommended that since movement is part of nomads’ life, physical and health education and sport programme would be of much benefit health-wise. All levels of government and stakeholder should organize nomadic competition.
