The Director of Elite Athletes, Mr Olumide Bamiduro stated that “it is critical to train the sports officers because we aspire for them to work with updated knowledge of global best practices, especially at the elite level of sports performance. The initiative is a crucial step toward unlocking the full potential of the Sports Economy in Nigeria.”
