The Nigeria Football Federation has congratulated the Honourable Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh who is celebrating his birthday on Tuesday, 4th June 2024.
President of NFF, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau said the NFF is delighted with the support and encouragement that the Federation has been receiving from Senator John Owan Enoh since he assumed office, and prayed that God will keep the Minister in good health and sound mind for the remainder of his years on earth, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
“In all ramifications and by every parameter, Senator John Owan Enoh is a good and great man. You cannot talk about the achievements of the NFF and the National Teams in the past one year without mentioning his contributions. Morally and physically, in terms of advice, and in helping to push our matters within Government and elsewhere, he has been there for us in a solid way.
“On behalf of the entire Nigeria Football fraternity, we celebrate him today and always. We pray that God will continue to grant him good health and sound mind in the years ahead.”
In the past one year that Senator Enoh has been the Minister of Sports Development, the Super Falcons were fabulous in reaching the Round of 16 at the FIFA Women’s World Cup finals without losing a match, the Super Eagles finished as runners-up at the 24-nation Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cote d’Ivoire and the Super Falcons defeated reigning African champions South Africa to qualify for the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament for the first time in 16 years, among other positives.
He has been agile, vibrant and consistent in appearances at venues of matches of the various National Teams, and has been cerebral and oracular in proffering suggestions and solutions to challenges in the boardroom.
