Shaibu Urges Probe Into Neglect of National Institute of Sports

The Director-General of the National Institute of Sports, Shaibu, accuses past Sports Ministers of neglecting the institute, resulting in decades of abandonment and insufficient funding. Shaibu highlights the need for a probe into the ex-ministers' actions, emphasizing the detrimental impact on Nigeria's sports sector.

Despite facing budget constraints, Shaibu managed to revive key programs through innovative thinking and public-private partnerships. The institute, inactive for years, successfully organized its first coach program in Abuja.

Shaibu warns that without proper funding, Nigeria's sports development will remain unstable.
