Stakeholders in Nigerian sports wait on the Senate as the House of Representatives passes the National Sports Commission Bill, which provides for the governance structure of sports in the country. Nigeria Sports Senate Reps
Since the advent of the Fourth Republic in 1999, stakeholders in Nigerian sports have been clamouring for the act setting up the National Sports Commission to be passed into law to free the sports sector from the usual bureaucracy that has prevented it from developing to the level expected of it.
However, at the plenary session presided by the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, the House of Representatives yesterday rekindled stakeholders’ hopes that the NSC Act would finally become a reality. The bill will also take care of the modalities for the establishment of sports institutions and facilities, harness sports for development to encourage and promote drugs-free-sports and recreation in Nigeria and for related matters.
