Summary & Analysis

This law establishes the Ekiti State Sports Commission as a corporate body with powers to sue, hold property, and manage its funds. The Commission consists of a Chairman (CEO), a General Manager, three full-time members (one per senatorial district), and representatives from relevant ministries. Its core functions are to encourage sports participation, improve performance standards, and promote mass involvement in all forms of sports. The Governor appoints the Chairman and members, who serve at his pleasure and may be removed for inability or misconduct. The law also provides for Local Government Area Sports Committees, repeals previous sports legislation, and outlines meeting procedures, funding, and annual reporting.
