The development achieved so far in the sports sector in Nigeria has been attributed to relentless advocacy campaigns on the part of sports journalists in the country, which has kept sports administrators in check, while also assisting them to enunciate policies in line with best global practice.

Larry Izamoje, Founder and Chairman of Brilla FM 88.9 Sports Radio, said this at the School of Media and Communications Alumni Association (SMCAA) Seminar on April 28, 2012, in Lagos. Izamoje was the guest speaker at the seminar tagged, ‘The Impact of sports broadcasting on sports administration in Nigeria’.
