During his presentation on Tuesday at a workshop on capacity building for Olympic coaches, Mr. Bamiduro emphasized the importance of promoting the acquisition and application of scientific knowledge and data-driven information within the Nigerian coaching sector. "It's high time to promote the acquisition and application of scientific knowledge and data-driven information in the Nigerian coaching sector. Staying in touch with the latest trends involves exposing oneself to training and retraining," he stated.

Sunday Dare, and currently serves as a special assistant to the present Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, before his elevation to the acting Director of FEAD.
