Actualizing the Goals of the Nigerian Association of Physical and Health Education and Recreation, Sports and Dance

Abstract

In this paper, we discussed the actualisation of the Nigerian Association of Physical and Health Education and Recreation, Sports and Dance (NAPHER-SD), and proffered some solutions to the problems betting the Association. We focused on identified problems, administrative problems, relevance to public good, dearth of communication and information, financial matters, and changes and innovations. We suggesedst that the Association will immensely benefit by making current and potential members understand the value of membership so that they would voluntarily register their membership. The Association should also endeavour to make itself relevant to the needs and purposes of the public. To effectively achieve this, efficient use of communication for outreaches and mobilisation of members, government and the general public should be encouraged and sustained. Budgets should be operated judiciously and accountably, following due process and probity. And the needs and relevance of the Association should be regularly assessed.
