It is the best thing that is happening to the sector because it is the first time we have round peg in a round hole. It is now that we have sports oriented people managing our sports, so I believe it is a good development”.
“With their years of experience in sports administration and management, I believe their appointment will make a positive impact in Nigeria’s sports sector which will further attract huge investments and jobs creation”.
