While Nigerians continue to adapt to the new normal in the sports ministry following its divorce from the Youths Development sector, the Honorable Minister of Sports - John Owah Enoh, has lauded the passion shown by Nigerian sports fans, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Hon. John Enoh resumed his office in the sports ministry on Tuesday where he met with all Heads of Department within the sports sector, and embarked on a tour around the National Stadium on Wednesday.

While hitting the ground running, the Sports Minister was amazed by the reactions from Nigerian fans to his appointment plus the attraction and incitement that comes with the sector.

"It is amazingly, myself heading a ministry that incites so much passion and input from Nigerians," Hon. Enoh said when asked about his remarks on public opinion.

"This makes the job more significant after H. E. President Bola Tinubu separated the Sports sector from the Youth development ministry, to help streamline focus."

Hon. Enoh was privileged to get reports and briefings from all the departments within the sector on Tuesday while alluding that the ministry is a peculiar space with its language.

"I have been able to assimilate the language of sports between yesterday and today due to my commitment and passion for the ministry.

"Life is all about the good, bad, beautiful, and the ugly. And with the much I have seen today, it is important to note that the national stadium is a national monument that must be preserved," he added.

Recall that social media and other digital platforms went agog following the appointment of the incumbent minister, citing his qualifications and experience for the job.

However, after two days on the job, Hon. John Enoh is feeling the music and dancing to the tune, with the fingers of Nigerian fans and faithful followers dictating the tune.
