Guy, forget that kind mumu talk for once....At least he has done what many other governors like him failed to do...

Moreover,they say appreciation is the application for more..

Nice one from my BY

Clueless government....Waste of money and meanwhile teachers, health workers and goverment workers are owed salary.... No civilised country in the world where a state or federal government gives money to Olympic medal athletes or club that wins football matches... Not even on Afghanistan or Syria this happens.

You support your athletes by funding the sports ministry and also create an atmosphere where sports men and woman can thrive such as free healthcare for sports people, free education by the schools and universities they attend and represent, participation of private businesses via sponsoring athletes and competitions, etc.

For sports ministry they need to publicly start showing thier accounting books what they did what money's allocated to then by state, federal or international organizations.

Everything with Nigeria is lack of accountability that's why even NNPC still dey use pen and paper for business instead of computer...Why? Easier to fraud without trace.

Clueless governor... Sad part is the sports center in yenogoa is in shambles and need renovation and clean up but him no dey see road...
