Sports Minister Enoh Calls for Better Management

Posted : 11 August 2024

The Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, has stated that there will be stricter scrutiny of the constitutions governing Nigeria's sporting federations in advance of the forthcoming elections.

 

This announcement follows Team Nigeria's disappointing performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the country did not secure any medals.

 

Speaking from Paris, Senator Enoh said, "We did everything as a ministry to prepare the athletes adequately and provide them with every financial support, but unfortunately, the performance has not produced any podium finish."

 

He continued, "As we go back home, we must do everything to prevent a recurrence of the Paris disaster, and if this entails reviewing how people are elected to lead our sporting federations, it will be done."

 

Emphasizing the importance of the upcoming federations' elections, Senator Enoh noted, "I know that elections into the federations are coming, and it will be the perfect platform to get only those who have something to offer to lead the various sports."

 

Reflecting on the complexity of these elections, he added, "I am aware that the sports federations' elections in Nigeria are even tougher than our national elections, and you begin to ask yourself why it is so."

 

The Minister concluded, "So for me, as a minister, it is important that I supervise elections where only the best hands will lead the various federations, and I also understand that in some of the federations, their constitutions will need to be reviewed for better inclusion."

 

This call for reform aims to enhance the leadership and effectiveness of Nigeria’s sports federations, paving the way for improved performance on the global stage.
