The minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, has insisted that Nigeria’s government, through the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, has a say in the running of football in the country and how the national teams are being managed.
“That is what we are doing and it is not different from anywhere. Just check everywhere, and we are very clear about our role. But to say we can’t speak about our football, is not yet in the book. The minister added that henceforth the Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr and coaching crew will be made to interact with Nigerian media about his team programmes while the Ministry and NFF will stay at the back.
“We would work with NFF going forward to make the technical adviser and his team interact with Nigerian media regularly.
