The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has congratulated the newly designated Minister of Sports, Senator John Owan Enoh.<\/p>\n
SWAN President, Mr. Isaiah Benjamin, in a press statement issued by the Association’s Secretary-General Amb Ikenna Okonkwo on Thursday in Abuja expressed optimism that the new Sports Minister will bring his political pedigree to bare.<\/p>\n
“Going by his experience in public and private service, we believe that Senator Enoh will work to uplift Nigeria’s sports to higher heights.<\/p>\n
“As a successful politician since he ventured into the political space in 1997, the sporting space will be a good fit for his commitment to serve and make sports viable.<\/p>\n
“The sporting media will surely give all the support to succeed. 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,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
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
Born on 1966, Senator Enoh hails from Agbokim Waterfall community, Etung local government area of Cross River State.<\/p>\n
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 the Federal House of Representatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
