The second boost for this new budget is the efforts by the Ministry to deliver a National Sports Industry Policy .
Meanwhile, the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria has appealed to the National Assembly to strongly consider the issues raised by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, at the defence of the 2022 budget and work closely with the Ministry to achieve the articulated targets for sports development in Nigeria.
“Sunday Dare was very honest in his presentation. Through the years, we have seen that the budget for sports has been too insufficient to truly drive development of the sector. “We cannot continue this way. Sports is a critical social sector and we must invest sufficiently in it if we are to realise its full benefits in employment, enterprise and attraction of private and foreign direct investments.
