The minister of sports development, Senator John Owan Enoh, will today begin engagements with all sports federations in the country, as he
continues to holistically assess the state of affairs in Nigeria’s sports sector. The meeting is part of a series of strategies the minister is employing to reposition sports in the country. The minister in a statement issued by his media aide, Kola Daniel, said that part of the process to reposition the country’s sports will involve the withdrawal of all cases in court, to give room for amicable resolution in favour of national interest and that serves the interests of athletes.

The minister explained that when disputants are given an opportunity, it provides a window to resolve lingering issues in the interests of the sports and for the love of the country. According to him, his administration will focus on turning the tide, to place less emphasis on positions and offices, and instead place more attention on athletes and development
