“I want to assure the public that there is no crisis in Osun sport administration. Hard reforms are ongoing. Our goal is to deploy sports as both business and engagement tools to attend to the aspirations of our talented youths.

 

“Sport lovers should support our government as we pursue difficult reforms to reposition the sector. We need cooperation, not a campaign of disinformation, to achieve our common goal of putting Osun on the world map of sport excellence”, the Governor was quoted as saying.
