Adeleke Reforms Sport Sector In Osun Government

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has expressed satisfaction with the ongoing reforms in the state’s sport sector, driven by Deputy Governor Prince Kola Adewusi, who also serves as the Commissioner for Sport Development.

In a statement issued by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke described recent reports of a rift and crisis in the sector as “misinformation” and “fake news.”

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to implementing reforms to develop major games and create sustainable sport management institutions.

The Governor acknowledged that resistance to change may be behind recent false publications about the sector. He emphasized that there is no going back on plans to establish the Osun State Sport Commission for holistic development and talent hunts, assuring that best practices are being applied in the reform process.

“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,” Governor Adeleke said.

He urged sport lovers to support the government as they pursue difficult reforms to reposition the sector, emphasizing the need for cooperation rather than a campaign of disinformation to achieve their common goal of putting Osun on the world map of sport excellence.
