His ideas about sports administration are lofty and charming. He is in touch with modern trends in sports development and we appreciate him for honouring us with his presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dare was also presented the official jersey of the 37-time Portuguese champions as he appreciated their warmth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to appreciate this club that stands as a global sporting institution. Your 65,000-capacity stadium is one of Europe&#8217;s top football grounds. We are working hard to make it even better in Nigeria. Just as this club has a thriving youth system that has generated over 1 Billion Euros in the last decade, Nigeria is also unrelenting in grassroots sports development and we would borrow a leaf, where needed,\u201d Dare said.<\/p>\n<p>Nigeria\u2019s Minister of Youth and Sports Development arrived Portugal earlier in the week alongside President, Muhammadu Buhari to seal multiple Memoranda of Understanding in the area of Sports, as well as Youth development between Nigeria and Portugal.<\/p>\n<p><i>Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Federal Ministry of Youth &amp; Sports Development, Nigeria.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>APO has issued this Press Release.
