He said that separating sports from the Ministry of Information, Youth, Sports, and Culture would help in the development of sports in the state.
The chairman said that football experts should be appointed in all football-related matters in the state, as doctors were appointed to head the health sector, engineers in construction, and lawyers in legal matters.
Eka said that many states have created a ministry of Sports to boost sports activities.
He said that creating a sports ministry in the state and appointing football experts would raise the standard of sports, especially for Jigawa Golden Stars FC.
