He described Tandoh as a thorough-bred sports administrator who has contributed immensely to the development of sports in Nigeria.
“The appointment of Dr. Kweku Tandoh is a right step in a right direction for sport development in Lagos state. Dr. Tandoh is not just qualified for the post, but has proven to be a thoroughly-bred sports administrator.
“I really commend the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for this right decision in ensuring that sports in Lagos state enjoys adequate attention and promotion”, he said.
Mr. Idowu also went further to congratulate Dr. Tandoh on his new appointment and urged him to translate his expertise in sports administration to move sports forward in the state to its desired peak.
