A new Minister of Sports for Nigeria has been in office for one week. The sports fraternity welcomes him to the beleaguered sector. Senator John Owan Enoh does not even have time to ‘warm up’ and head to Budapest ‘23, the theatre of the ongoing feast of global athletics. That would have been his baptism, his first international assignment. Instead, he settles down at his new desk inside the premises of the Moshood Abiola International Stadium, Abuja, and starts a foray into the uncharted world of sports. One of the first things he will learn will be the interpretation of the medals table from Budapest. It will reveal, as was the case with several Ministers before him, that all is not well with Nigerian sports. Budapest ‘23 has been a barren expedition.
