Sports Minister named SERAS Africa Sustainability Man of the Year

Sen. John Owan-Enoh

Sports Minister, Senator John Enoh, on Friday evening received the Africa Sustainability Man of the Year award in a colourful 17th Sustainability, Enterprise, and Responsibility Awards (SERAS).

The event, graced by the cream of Lagos society, including captains of industry, acknowledged Senator Enoh’s exceptional contributions to sustainable leadership and transformative initiatives within the sports ministry.

Enoh was recognised as a visionary leader, and outstanding achiever, whose ability to steer the sports ministry towards positive transformation has been felt within the short time of taking over.

He joins the ranks of distinguished personalities who have previously received the award, including Tony Elumelu (Tony Elumelu Foundation), Aliko Dangote (Aliko Dangote Foundation), and Lieutenant General Sir Seretse Khama (former President of the Republic of Botswana).

Speaking at the event, the Minister said: “I’m elated to be so recognised and join the elite class of top achievers with SERAS top award. I am happy to add that central to my leadership is the implementation of the six-point agenda known as W.A.I.F.A.R (Welfare, Activation of sports as business, Infrastructure development, Funding for sports, Activation of grassroots sports development, and Reorganisation of sports federations).

“I hope that all you corporate bodies here this evening to support SERAS will also support our six-point agenda.”
