By Frank Momoh

The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare, weekend in his office inaugurated a 9-member panel of inquiry to investigate the remote causes and the level of vandalism at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja after the 2022 World Cup second leg playoff between Nigeria and Ghana that ended in 1-1 draw.

Dare, during the inauguration, stated that Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup is most regrettable but described the acts of vandalism as saddening and totally unacceptable to Government.

While assuring millions of sports loving Nigerians that necessary steps will be taken to deal with the issues that led to Nigeria’s inability to qualify, he advised Nigerian youth to stop destroying public properties at the slightest provocation.
