Chairman House Committee on Sports in the Federal House of Representatives, Honourable Abubakar Ekene Adams says something drastic needs to be done to get Nigeria sports working again, in  the face of the current sporting challenges.

Prompt News reports that Honourable Adams who spoke in Abuja is worried that if nothing drastic is done to stem the tide of poor results of Nigeria’s  football teams including Golden Eaglets,  Flying Eagles and Super Eagles, the country will be the worse for it.

This is even as there are still uncertainties surrounding if Team Nigeria will have a good performance at next month’s Olympic games in Paris, France and the  Nigeria senior National team is currently not doing well after finishing second at the Last AFCON in Ivory Coast.

The Chairman, House Committee on Sports, Honourable Adams, who  represents Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency of Kaduna state reacting to the recent turn of events insisted that measures must be taken for genuine changes to be effected in Nigeria Sports.

Said he: “In civilised World people resign if they are not doing well and we can see with the Dortmund Coach, Edin Terzic, who has just resigned after losing the UEFA Champions league final.Maybe I am the one to even resign because the truth is People must learn how to throw in the towel if results are not good enough because I strongly believe Something must be done”

Asked if the House Committee on Sports will invite the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in the face of the poor runs of the Super Eagles under the new head coach, George Finidi, the lawmaker said ” the Minister of Sports has already invited them and he is in the right direction”.
