The Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh has stated his vision for the development of polo in Nigeria, following his meeting with the leadership of the Nigeria Polo Federation (NPF).
In his bid to rejuvenate and reinvigorate sports in the country, he has continued to meet different sports federations to drive a common vision.
He identified polo as a sport which receives more attention, support and enthusiasm from the Northern part of Nigeria. He added the sport has the potential to grow and enjoy national recognition.
Given the multi-level focus on grassroot development, social inclusion and the economic development trajectory of his administration, the roundtable conversation with the NPF was held on Wednesday, November 15th, to discuss the development of polo.
The Minister said that “we need to go to the North to encourage and develop the game of polo, given that the followership of polo is centered in that region of the country.
The Ministry will be involved in all sports to the degree of its social inclusiveness, where majority of those involved cut across all stratification of society, regardless of class or political status.”
