Former Green Eagles winger, Adegoke Adelabu, is not comfortable with a declaration by the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19, Boss Mustapha, who has ruled out the return of sporting activities in the country, especially football, for now.
Mustapha, who spoke at Thursday’s briefing in Abuja, said PTF was not excited about giving the green light for sports to return in the country, since sporting activities attract large crowd.
However, Adelabu, a sports scientist, raised an alarm yesterday saying that there was a great disconnection between the government and sport management in the country.
“While other countries are counting their loses and how to get back to sport business, we are refusing to start sport participation in Nigeria. This is because the government is not aware of what sport means to the entire gamut of national development,” Adelabu said in a message to The Guardian yesterday. (Guardian)
