The Honorable Minister of Youth and Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalung has expressed deep shock and sincere sympathy to the Nigeria Football Federation, friends and family members over the death of former Super Eagles Coach, Paul Hamilton.

Dalung said his death came at a time his experience was needed to develop other football coaches in the country as government continues its grassroots development agenda in sports.

Dalung described the 75-year-old ex-international popularly known as 'Wonder Boy' as a true professional and a nationalist who sacrificed his entire life for Nigeria through sports. Hamilton died at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba on Thursday.
