Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s time as President of Nigeria came to an end on May 29, 2023.<\/p>\n

Across his two terms, Buhari\u2019s administration made several gaffes and questionable appointments.<\/p>\n

One of such was making Sunday Dare the Minister of Sports and Youth Development.<\/p>\n

Dare\u2019s last big decision before leaving office was to order the partial closure of the Lagos National Stadium.<\/p>\n

The rotting edifice had its last major event in 2000, the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which Nigeria co-hosted with Ghana.<\/p>\n

Many observers felt Dare was barely interested in the job and was prone to knee-jerk reactions.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be fair, Dare was an upgrade on Solomon Dalung under Jonathan. However, grassroots sports development was not a priority,\u201d Tosin Abayomi, who is the Editor for Nigerian Sports with Pulse, tells DAILY POST.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball suffered. We failed on multiple occasions at the AFCON, AWCON and did not partake at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasketball was a mess in the end, as FIBA disqualified D\u2019Tigress from competing at the World Cup due to political tussles between administrators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe World Athletics Championships spearheaded by Tobi Amusan and Ese Brume provided some joy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut in general, sports during the Buhari regime was at the back burner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bola Tinubu has been sworn-in as Buhari\u2019s successor.<\/p>\n

Already, Tinubu\u2019s decision to finally remove fuel subsidy has seen chaos and confusion engulf the country.<\/p>\n

Although the former Governor of Lagos state did not officially make a declaration, fuel stations across Nigeria immediately shut down amid accusations of hoarding.<\/p>\n

It led to immediate criticisms of the new administration amid claims of poor or unclear communication from the top.<\/p>\n

So, are we jumping from the frying pan into the fire as it concerns sports?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot do any worse in truth,\u201d Abayomi says.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo elevate the sector, there has to be critical investment at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball is the joy of Nigerians. However, other sports with potential must not be neglected.<\/p>\n

\u201cTinubu is a businessman and knowing the opportunity for foreign investment, Sports is a tool he must take advantage of to resuscitate an economy that is failing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
