remodeling of the entire sports system The inauguration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the 16th President of Nigeria has come and gone, living Nigerians with bated breath on the government’s policy
President of Nigeria has come and gone, living Nigerians with bated breath on the government’s policy thrust and direction, not least, on sports development.
First up is sports administration, which is the process of carrying out administrative assignments within a sports organization. It is, arguably, the most vital component of sports development, the absence of which could impact on overall performances. Secondly, School Sports are the bedrock of sports development in any nation. The success of countries such as the United States, Great Britain and Jamaica at the global level could be linked to their vibrant school sports system. Whilst Nigeria appears to have a similar system such as the Nigeria School Sports Federation and the Nigerian University Games Association , their operations and structures are not as robust as required.
Whilst there was the 171- paged National Sports Industry Policy, 2020 by the last administration, the implementation moonshot never left the launchpad. Effort should now be made to rev the idle engine of the sports policy document to full speed.
