The Minister of Youth
The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr.
Sunday Dare has relocated his office to the M.K.O Abiola stadium,
Abuja.
The move, made on Monday, is in line with the
Minister’s promise to ensure that the nation’s sports facilities
become hubs of activities and that they are restored to become
fully functional.
With this move, the Minister has made good on his
earlier promise to keep a close tab on the revitalization of
Nigeria’s sporting facilities. It is also a sharp departure from
what has been regarded as the norm in the past.
During an interactive session with the Press
Unit of the Ministry, Hon. Dare asserted that the Youth and
Sports Ministry is a critical artery to Nigeria’s human capital
development, adding, that 13 Ministries alone has Youth
development as part of their budgets and mandate.
The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development,
according to him, will leverage on this pivotal advantage expressed
in the National Youth Policy for Social Economic Empowerment
of our Youths. Furthermore, the Minister emphasised the importance
of Communication to Youth and Sports Development, stressing
that the Press Unit of the Ministry should increase it’s ante
professionally, by narrating it’s story timely and accurately with
authentic and approved facts before disseminating to
the Nigerian public. He also reemphasized his determination to give
the Youth component of the Ministry’s mandate massive
attention.
