Ministry seeks public-private partnership for sports development

The Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has again re-affirmed the commitment of the government

The Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has again re-affirmed the commitment of the government to develop sports through a public-private partnership.

According to the minister, Sunday Dare, there is a need for private investors to take a cue from the successes recorded in other countries.

“In an Egalitarian society, sports is developed alongside private investors.

“Look at countries like United Kingdom, Jamaica, United States, South Africa and a host of others that have successfully done this.

“We need to develop sports deliberately with the help of public, private partnership with Government.

“We believe in a holistic sports development which is a total departure from funding sporting competitions and waiting for the next Olympics, FIFA World Cup, Commonwealth Games or the All Africa Games.

The Minister expressed gratitude to Sir Kensington Adebutu and Alhaji Aliko Dangote for their immense contribution to Sports Development.

“We need to thank these two philanthropists Sir Kensington Adebutu and Alhaji Aliko Dangote for their immense contribution towards sports Development.

“They both made the rehabilitation of the National stadium Surelere, and the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja possible with the adopt initiative,” Dare said.
