She said that four officials which included the General Manager, Mr Adekunle Adeyemi, Mr Isaac Elegbeleye, Mr Isiaka Oluyemi and Mr Olusola Ibitoye, have been posted to the ministry.
Osetoba said that new officials would be named for the vacant positions in the sports council in due course.

She said that the government has banned training and other unauthorised activities on the pitch of Oluyemi Kayode stadium in Ado- Ekiti, adding that the stadium would soon be refurbished.
The advisor said the government has concluded an arrangement to build a sports hall at the Ekiti Kete Pavilion, which would provide facilities for several sporting events.

She said that the government would soon carry out a total restructuring of the two state-owned football clubs, Ekiti United and Ekiti Queens,Osetoba said there were lapses in the administrative setup of the two clubs, and a new board would be constituted to revive the good performance of the clubs.

She thanked members of SWAN for their support when she was chairman of the Sports Council, saying she would need similar support in her new task.
