The Kaduna State Ministry of Sports Development has dissolved the leadership of the state’s 36 sports associations to pave way for fresh elections and democratization of the bodies.
The Commissioner of Sports Development, Professor Kabir Mato, said the democratization of the sports associations by conducting elections into their executive committees would be in tandem with best international practice.
He said this was as the ministry was moving toward reinvigorating sports activities in the state post-COVID-19 pandemic.
Mato, in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Malam Ismaila Lere, said this during a meeting with the state sports association chairmen in his office on Friday.
He said that the ministry would work closely with the new leadership of the 36 sports associations to take sports in Kaduna State to greater heights.
