“Periodic Review will be Conducted” – Minister tells Sports Federation Presidents
…Sues for on-the-job passion and result-oriented leadership in federations
Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh has charged sports federations presidents to undertake their job with commitment, passion, and focus, in order for sports to grow, and contribute to the nation’s development.
In a meeting with all federation presidents and secretaries, Enoh said that the Government has huge expectations from the sports sector and sports federations must satisfactorily operate at a good level for those expectations to be met.
“Government has expectations from the ministry and those expectations can only get satisfied by what you do as federations. We will institute periodic meetings of review in terms of our activities. Our periodic meetings and the federations’ feedback will help us determine what is needed to reposition this sector, so the ministry can continually play that role that is expected of it.”
“We must set targets for ourselves. We must get to a point in which those who want to be presidents must sufficiently challenge the norm about what they think they want to offer and what makes them to run (for that position).
The minister explained that in several countries around the world, sports is a driving force for national development, and thus Nigeria, with its rich human resources and abundance of talents must be part of those countries.
“If we have local league leagues running in football and a few other sports, why can’t we have local leagues for every other sports. It is in doing so, that we can build the required talents to compete with others internationally. By the time our current elite competitors exit the stage, we must have a system for continuity. The system that will feed us with talents will come from our organization of the grassroots level.”
He assured that the ministry will continually collaborate with federations, to give them the necessary support needed to excel, as well as offer incentives for growth.

CLTC DG Reaffirms FG’s Dedication to Nurturing Innovative, Productive Nigerian Youth
By Joel Ajayi
The Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre (CLTC), Ms. Rinsola Abiola, has reaffirmed the Centre’s commitment to raising young Nigerians who are productive, innovative, and imbued with patriotism, service, and integrity.
She gave the assurance on Monday in Abuja in her goodwill message at the ongoing two-day Retreat on Presidential Priorities and Deliverables — 2025 Mid-Term Review, where she also commended the Ministry of Youth Development, led by Hon. Ayodele Olawande, for championing youth-focused initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Abiola, the retreat provides a unique opportunity to review and realign efforts to ensure that government policies and programmes translate into measurable impact in the lives of Nigerian youths.
“This retreat is both timely and strategic. It provides a platform to collectively review, align, and sharpen our focus on the priorities of Mr. President. More importantly, it allows us to deepen collaboration within the youth development sector to ensure that government policies deliver real change to our young people,” she said.
Highlighting the Centre’s achievements, Abiola disclosed that over 6,000 youths have been trained in value orientation and re-orientation in the just-concluded half-year period. She emphasized that the CLTC, with its long history of building citizenship values, leadership capacity, discipline, and volunteerism, remains steadfast in supporting the Ministry’s mandate and national priorities.
“We see ourselves as partners in this great task of nation-building. Our goal is to raise young Nigerians who are not only productive and innovative but also committed to the spirit of service, patriotism, and integrity,” she added.
Abiola urged stakeholders and participants at the retreat to bring forward actionable strategies that would strengthen coordination, eliminate bottlenecks, and accelerate delivery on presidential mandates.
She concluded by reaffirming CLTC’s readiness to collaborate with the Ministry and other agencies to advance youth development across Nigeria.
