The Director-General National Institute for sports Professor Olawale Moronkola  has hailed the  appointment of the new  Minister  of Sports Senator John Enoh as the  right choice for the  betterment  of sports.


According to  Professor Moronkola ” I  commend President  Bola Ahmed Tinubu  choice of  Senator John Enoh  as the new Minister  of Sports.


 This shows that the President  places high premium  on Sports.  I believe  the new Sports  Minister  will continue with  the legacy  left behind by Mr Sunday Dare. 


He has alot to take away from the Former Minister  since government  is a continuum.  We are confident  that the new Minister  will  bring his vast experience in both public  and private business to bear on  the Ministry.  


We are excited by his appointment and look forward  to working with him to consolidate on what we have  done   by  building on  the legacies  of the Former Minister  Mr Sunday Dare. 


 We hope and pray that he would initiate  policies to improve  what had been  done. We are ready to support  him and confident that his tenure  will herald  a good  direction for Nigerian Sports”.


Enoh is the 36th Sports Minister since Nigeria attained Independence  in 1960.
