President of the Kickboxing Federation of Nigeria, Dr Mykel Eneduwa, has commended the Director General of the National Sports Commission, Hon Bukola Olopade’s leadership of Nigerian sports.
Eneduwa told our correspondent that Olopade and the commission chairman have taken bold decisions that have changed the face of the country’s sports sector since coming on board.
He charged all stakeholders to support their transformation agenda to help put the country’s sports on a higher pedestal.
“I want to commend Hon Olopade, who has been quite supportive not only of kickboxing but of all sports in the country,” Eneduwa said.
“Remember that he launched a sports grant for athletes, which they have been accessing. He has been very good to us, and we are grateful to him because he’s somebody who has a very good knowledge of Nigerian sports, and he has brought stability into our sports administration.”
According to Eneduwa, Olopade’s handling of the last National Sports Festival and the Youth Games deserves commendation as they were adjudged the best in the history of the Games in Nigeria in recent times.
“When you look at the last Sports Festival tagged ‘Gateway Games’ and the Youth Games which he handled, you’ll agree with me that he deserves all the commendation because the Games were seamless, and I think he deserves to be celebrated,” he said.
“He has been a blessing not only to kickboxing but all sports, and I urge all sports stakeholders to rally round him so that we can have more successes in our sports sector.”
