Nigerians Youth and Sports Development Minister, Mr. Sunday Dare, has given five-year-old boxing sensation Ayomide Adeyemo educational scholarship.

In line with his avowed mandate of discovering young talents and nurturing them to stardom, the Ministers who refers to himself as the ‘Chief Talent Hunter’ said he was moved by a viral video of the young talented boxer.
