Former Super Eagles captain Segun Odegbami has called on the Federal Government to unlock the economic potential of Nigeria's sports sector, describing it as a driver of the country's emerging Orange Economy, sustainable development and national integration. He made the appeal on Thursday while delivering a lecture titled 'The Role of Sports as an Enabler of the Orange Economy' to participants of Senior Executive Course 48 at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies in Kuru, Plateau State. Odegbami argued that Nigeria must build the structures, capacity and confidence required to compete in the global economy. He identified the country's limited appreciation of the economic value of sports as a major obstacle.
