Dogged, Daring And Dancing Dare, Dazzles @ 54
Dogged, Daring And Dancing Dare, Dazzles @ 54: He is dogged, he is dominant, determined and undeterred.
He is fearless, focused, forward looking and with a fighting spirit.
His name, Akinlabi means we have given birth to a strong son, that may also literally mean that he was a warrior from birth.
Olaniyi simply means that wealth is glory while you can be forgiven for thinking that the name Dare means a man who dares to succeed where others dread to tread
Ever since his appointment as Nigeria sports minister, Sunday Dare has performed excellently where his predecessors failed woefully.
Daily, he has continued to write his name in gold by shunning out excellent achievements that has left his critics dumbfounded.
In the midst of these outstanding brilliancy he has maintained high level humility and calmness, preferring to give Nigerians a chance to judge him rather than blowing his trumpet.
He mounted the podium as Nigeria sports minister in August 2019 few weeks to the All Africa games but he rose to the occasion like a scout that is always prepared and led Team Nigeria to a second place finish with 46 gold, 33 Silver and 48 Bronze medals at the 12th All Africa Games in Rabat, Morocco. In all, the nation’s athletes amassed a total of 127 medals.
In October 2019, Dare held a meeting with the federation presidents to review Nigeria’s outing at the All Africa games and the inauguration of the ministerial Olympic committee that identified the eleven sports team Nigeria will participate in, at the Tokyo Olympic games was indeed very timely.
