In his response, the Minister said: “Thanks for your faith in Nigeria. The timing of this initiative is very good and in consonance with our new sports industry policy which classifies sports as business. It also falls within the purview of our Adopt-A-Sport Initiative. I fully support this initiative and will give whatever support needed to make it succeed.”
