We will also continuously play our watchdog role in a bid to make it easy for the new sports Minister and indeed other administrators to operate seamlessly,&#8221; the statement said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6884470249MsoNormal\">Senator Enoh who was named the Minister for Sports on Wednesday August 17, 2023 will be officially inaugurated on Monday August 21, 2023, alongside his colleagues by President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6884470249MsoNormal\">Born on 1966, Senator Enoh hails from Agbokim Waterfall community, Etung local government area of Cross River State.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv6884470249MsoNormal\">He served as a Senator representing the Central Senatorial District of Cross River State in the 8th Assembly of the Senate, after he represented his constituency in
