Lagos is home to sports and so we are always here. We are always here because of the very friendly environment and a good relationship the Ministry enjoys with the Lagos State Government and the fraternity of the government and people of Lagos is one of the major reasons why we will often visit the Governor when the occasion demands.
The Lagos state governor who shared the photo on his social media handle, said he was delighted to have been found worthy of the nomination and he will not disaapoint. He said:
I am honoured to have been nominated by President Buhari to join the Federal Government delegation to support the Nigerian Super Eagles at the World Cup in Russia.
With our morale and physical support, Nigerians would be made proud and I am sure people should not bother about what they are seeing with the friendly matches; they are supposed to be friendlies and I am sure the team will put all their energy and make Nigeria proud.
