Road to Paris 2024: Nigeria Olympians Association commends Sports Minister

Posted : 25 April 2024

The Executive Board of the Nigerian Olympians Association has paid a courtesy visit to the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, to commend his vision and achievements in the field of sports development.


During the visit, Olumide Ayodeji OLY, the President of the Association, expressed the group's desire not only to support the Minister's vision but also to contribute to the growth of sports in Nigeria through mentoring athletes.


He highlighted the Olympians' contributions to the country and urged the Minister to look into their welfare in line with his vision for sports development.


Emmanuel Babayaro, a legendary member of the Nigerian football team that won a gold medal during the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, described the Minister as a leader with a human touch and assured him of the Nigerian Olympians Association's support in consolidating his achievements so far.


He also emphasized the Olympians' willingness to offer their support and experience as mentors to help grow sports in Nigeria.


Christy Opara Thompson and Olufemi Ebenezer, also members of the NOA delegation, outlined the individual contributions of NOA members to sports development, including the construction of infrastructure for athletes' use in communities to enhance sports development.


Senator John Owan Enoh, in his response, expressed his gratitude for the visit and pledged to provide a platform for Olympians to engage with athletes to achieve desired outcomes.


He assured the Association that the Ministry would work out modalities to include them as part of the contingent for the Olympic Games on a sport-to-sport basis.


Additionally, he promised to do things differently to achieve the desired results under his leadership.


“There’s so much the ministry is willing to do, including working with the right people to achieve desired results,” he said.
