Challenges undermining sports for development in Nigeria: focus on Football transformation
Resumen
Sports remains useful drivers of national development. The different sports are drivers of societal peace and development. However, it should be noted that sports are currently part of the drivers of global relations amongst citizenry. This study traces the place of sports in the Nigerian national development culture. It used secondary materials to identify the challenges that undermined football in Nigeria, which include but are not limited to corruption, feet drain, poor officiating, nepotism, poor government policies etc and consequently recommends increased government investment in sports, professional training, improved officiating as well as encouraging migrant sportsmen that have travelled outside the country to return home and join in building the sports.
