Sunday Dare, the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, has charged the newly elected Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with improving football at all levels in the country.
Dare encouraged them in his office at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja Wednesday, when the NFF leadership paid him a courtesy call.
Football, according to the Minister, is a national asset and a unifying force in Nigeria, and the Federal Government, through his Ministry, is interested in its growth and development.
The Permanent Secretary, Alhaji Ismaila Abubakar, thanked the new board and charged them with collaborating with the Ministry to improve the game.
The newly elected NFF President, Ibrahim Musa Gusau, thanked the Minister for his support and committed to work in the best interests of the country with the other members of his board.
