In his avowed determination to ensure the development of sports in the country, the minister of sports development, Senator John Owan Enoh, has met with key
stakeholders in the industry, to brainstorm on the way forward for the development of football game in the country.
The minister in a press statement signed by director of press and public relations, Muhammed Manga, stated further that government has been working assidously with the key stakeholders in the industry with a view to ensuring the development of football in the country through the introduction of viable initiatives, policies and programmes.
Senator Owan Enoh explained that the bitter experience from CAF, which is the exclusion of Nigerian officials for AFCON, should be treated as a lesson to improve the conduct and operations of the management of our round leather game to ensure the development of our league.“We are in this sorry state because of what had happened in the past, but it is incumbent on us to take action points from our deliberations and define the future of our game.
Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary overseeing the Federal Ministries of Sports and Youth Development, Alhaji Ismaila Abubakar stated that the meeting was conveyed as a follow-up to the Minister’s earlier engagement with the stakeholders to further provide the wider opportunity to brainstorm on issues surrounding the development of the round leather game in the country.
