The Minister of Sports Development, JOHN ENOH, has called for a renewed focus on quality training and exposure for indigenous coaches to take Nigerian sports to a higher pedestal.

The minister made the call in Abuja when the leadership of the Sports Coaches Association of Nigeria led by its President, GABRIEL OPUANA, paid him a courtesy visit.

ENOH described coaching as a critical aspect of sports development that must be given more attention in Nigeria if the country is to return to its glorious days in sports.

He pledged the ministry’s readiness to work with relevant stakeholders to beam focus on the coaching sector with a view to raising the standard in line with international best practices.
