"We have to use the passion we have for football to facilitate the growth of other sports.
"Every sport should be given the opportunity to develop and function optimally within its own ecosystem," Dikko said, highlighting the need for balanced support and development strategies.
Dikko stated that the NSC is committed to nurturing a diverse range of sports and federations.
"There should be no fear. We're not going to leave anything behind for the total development of all sports and the ecosystem.
"Every sport will get its fair share, what it deserves, and the support it needs to do what it is supposed to do," he stated, reinforcing the drive and dedication to foster inclusive sports growth.
He further noted that lessons learned from the country's football system could be leveraged to advance other sports, creating a stronger and more diverse athletic landscape.
"The football experience will help jumpstart us to where we need to be with other sports as we continue to develop all around," Dikko added.
This strategic approach underlines the NSC’s vision of fostering a comprehensive sports environment where all federations can thrive, contributing to national pride and economic development.
