He recalled how Lagos State, under Tinubu’s leadership, dominated national sporting events such as the National Sports Festival (NSF), contributing significantly to Nigeria’s talent pool for international competitions.
The SWAN President also praised Tinubu’s recent strides in sports governance, including the revival of the National Sports Commission (NSC) and the unprecedented increase in the 2025 sports budget. He expressed confidence that with proper management of resources, Nigerian sports would witness a new era of growth and excellence.
Praying for wisdom and good health for President Tinubu, SWAN assured him of continued support from the sporting media in driving sports development initiatives across the country.
