But, instead of Sola-Phillips taking the podium, Mr. Soji Eniade stood up and introduced himself as the Director General.<\/p>\n<p>The Committee expressed surprise because he was a stranger in their midst. He then told the Committee that he was appointed to the position \u2018two days ago,\u2019 adding that though he was the Director General, the Budget would be defended by the Acting Director General.<\/p>\n<p>This submission led to question and answer session. In the process, Mr Eniade said the Minister appointed him as the Centre\u2019s DG and that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/09\/24\/how-pantami-accepted-professorship-five-months-before-futo-offered-him-appointment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appointment<\/a> came from the President.<\/p>\n<p>Following further questions, Mr Eniade said that he was from Oyo State which raised the curiosity of the Senators.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of the Senate Committee, Sen. Obinna Ogba from Ebonyi State recalled that the Minister had previously eased out two heads of parastatals under the Ministry and replaced them with people from his home state of Oyo, including that of the National Sports Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Obinna said it was wrong and abuse of office for the Minister to attempt bypassing the Acting Director General of CLTC who is from Lagos State and to replace him with his kinsman from Oyo State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate Committee on Sports and Youth Development, on Thursday accused the Minister for Sports and Youth Development, Sunday Dare of tribalism and nepotism.
