Sports minister bags Africa sustainable leadership award
The Minister of Sports Development, John Enoh, has been honoured with the distinguished Africa Sustainability Man of the Year 2023 Award.
The award was conferred on him at the 17th edition of the Sustainability, Enterprise, and Responsibility Awards (SERAS) in Lagos on Friday.
The award was given to Mr Enoh for his contributions to sustainable and transformational leadership in the sports ministry.
The award highlighted the clear policy directions and passion to rejuvenate all facets of Nigeria’s sports ecosystem for the greater good of the nation.
Mr Enoh’s newly unveiled six-point agenda, known as W.A.I.F.A.R (Welfare, Activation of sports as business, Infrastructure development, Funding for sports, Activation of grassroots sports development, and Reorganisation of sports federations), was hailed as a game changer in the sports sector.
The organisers of the award said in addition to his leadership in sports development, his commitment to philanthropy over the decades was also worthy of mention.
“His continuous efforts have played a pivotal role in liberating the peoples of Africa from the shackles of poverty, perpetual dependence, and underdevelopment,” the award organisers said.
