Minister for Youths and Sports Developments, Hon. Sunday Dare has sent in a clear warning to the league football administrators, as he asked them to shun the non-challant attitude being exhibited towards the running of its various leagues in the country, OwoSports Reports.

The Minister who on Monday tweeted via his official tweeter handle, insisted that it no more business as usual, as he urges the league administrators to get serious as he demands for more professionalism in the managements of the league that will attract serious investments.

“With the reclassification of Sports from Recreation to Business, President Buhari is committed to Sports as Business. A first logical step. Other steps include running our football league as business not as ‘play-play’-hence the full implementation of licensing/financial controls”, he tweeted.

“These are the things we have been about since inception in August 2019. We have a clear plan and vision. We are dogged in working to fulfil them leveraging on public and private financing. The MYSD is on top of its game.

“Next logical step is infrastructural renewal. From the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja to Surulere Stadium in Lagos we are showing we mean business.A business model to attract investments to sports among other things will soon be delivered through National Sports Industry Policy,” he concluded
