The Minister of Youth and Sports
Development, Mr Sunday Dare has relocated his office to the MKO Abiola National
Stadium, Abuja.
Dare stated that the move was in
line with his promise to ensure that the nation’s sports facilities were
restored to become fully functional.
He made the disclosure in a
statement by Mr Ramon Balogun, Assistant Director, Press in the ministry.
He said that with the move, he
has made good his earlier promise to keep a close tab on the revitalisation of
Nigeria’s sporting facilities.
“It is also a sharp departure
from what has been regarded as the norm in the past,” he said.
The Minister indicated that he
would be working sometimes days of the week from the stadium.
He asserted that the Youth and
Sports ministry was a critical artery to Nigeria’s human capital development,
adding, that 13 ministries have youth development as part of their budgets and
mandate.
The ministry according to him,
will leverage on the pivotal advantage expressed in the National Youth Policy
for socio-economic empowerment of our youths.
He emphasized the importance of
communication to youth and sports development, while urging the press unit of
the Ministry to improve on its professionalism by reporting events timely and
accurately with authentic and approved facts before disseminating to the
Nigerian public.
He also re-emphasized his
determination to give the youth component of the ministry’s mandate massive
attention.
