Reps Committee Chairman On Sports Congratulates New Minister

The Chairman of Nigeria’s House Committee on Sports, Ekene Adams, has congratulated the newly appointed Minister of Sports Development, John Enoh.

Enoh is one of 46 new ministers assigned portfolios by Nigerian President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday. He is Nigeria’s 36th Sports Minister and succeeds Sunday Dare who served for four years under former President Muhammadu Buhari.

A statement by Adams, signed by his media committee and made available to newsmen in Abuja said that Enoh’s vast experience would help the sector to grow.

“Let me heartily congratulate the new Sports Minister, John Enoh, on his well-deserved appointment by President Bola Tinubu,” Adams said.

“His trajectory as a foremost lawmaker who had served in the the senate will be a huge advantage to the accomplishment of his new assignment. As a former lawmaker he understands the dynamics of every sector, so I believe he will hit the ground running.”
