Recently appointed Sports Minister, John Enoh, has unveiled his sweeping vision for transformation in the Nigerian sports industry, Soccernet.ng reports.

Taking to his social media, Enoh shared insights into his multifaceted approach, signaling his intent to bring about positive change and transformation within the sector.

In his statements on the social media, Enoh highlighted the pivotal role that financial restructuring and organizational re-engineering will play in driving the transformation of the Ministry of Sports.

Enoh, who is set to oversee all sporting activities in Nigerian football, is poised to usher in a new era for the nation’s sports landscape.
