President Buhari launches 10-year football development plan
President Muhammadu Buhari has launched the 10-year football development master plan in Nigeria.
According to a statement released by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesperson, on Tuesday, Buhari also warned that any attempt to undermine the development of football in Nigeria will be resisted.
The president described football as “a national asset” and “our passion and a major tool for unity” while demanding “all stakeholders to work together constructively and patriotically.”
He added that there have been moves to “disrespect and undermine the institutions supervising our sports”.
The president said his administration will not “take lightly any attempt to inflict injury on its football fortunes.”
”Indeed, just as I expect and demand a higher standard of patriotism, responsibility, and commitment from those charged with the administration of our football, I also urge all stakeholders to work together constructively and patriotically,” Buhari was quoted as saying.
”We have seen attempts to disrespect and undermine the institutions supervising our sports. We have seen attempts to subjugate national interest for narrow interest or disrespect the laws of Nigeria. Nigeria will not take lightly any attempt to inflict injury on its football fortunes.”
