Facts are beginning to emerge on why the Federal Minister of Youth and Sports did not approve Nigerian athletes to be dressed in Puma wears, which has drawn attacks and blackmailing stories against him, Honourable Sunday Dare.
News Dot Africa garthered that the Minister was not part of a contract which the contract documents have not been seen and the kits also not seen.
According to the information “A non disclosure agreement was signed by the duo of Gusau and Adeleye on behalf of AFN for five years without recourse to the Board. Till date, both the Ministry and AFN has seen the Non-disclosure agreement signed.
“Payment made by Puma also were made into the private account of Dynamic Solutions DSS, a company owned by Adeleye instead of being paid into the account of the AFN”.
The Sports Ministry’s procedure is that before Team Nigeria wears any foriegn brand, it must sight and be privy to any agreement signed, niether Gusau or the AFN has presented a copy or details of the contract signed by Gusau with Puma.
The Ministry said it steered clear of the clouds over the Puma kits and went for local content as directed under the local content law of Nigeria. Ministry and AFN went for a local garment producer to kit Team Nigeria.
Nevertheless, the Federal Ministry of Sports and Youths Development has said that Gusau and co afraid of the institution of a legal case against them if the kits are not used are sponsoring media attacks against the Honourable Minister for refusing to bend and for insisting on the rule of law.
