President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed a new minister of sports following the resignation of the previous chief, who was implicated in a corruption probe. The move comes amid calls for sweeping reforms in Nigerian football, which has long struggled with mismanagement and poor infrastructure. The new minister, yet to be officially named, is expected to implement policies aimed at improving league operations and youth development. The decision follows a government review that highlighted systemic issues in the sport’s administration. Officials have emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in football governance. The reform effort is seen as a key step toward revitalizing Nigeria’s football scene, which has faced criticism for its lack of competitive edge on the international stage.
