New NSC boss pledges to transform sports sector

Posted : 26 October 2024

Newly appointed National Sports Commission Chairman, Malam Shehu Dikko, has pledged to establish a robust framework for the transformation of sports in Nigeria.


Dikko disclosed this after a closed-door meeting with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and the immediate past Minister of Sports Development, John Owan Enoh, on Friday in Abuja.


Dikko stated that the meeting was part of early consultations and groundwork aimed at transforming the sports sector in line with international best practices.


“The meeting is part of early groundwork to establish a robust framework aimed at transforming Nigeria’s sports landscape into a sustainable sports economy,” Dikko said.


He emphasized the need for all stakeholders to rally behind the NSC to achieve the Commission’s mandate and elevate Nigerian sports.


“This new direction is expected to boost professionalism, create economic opportunities, and enhance sports infrastructure and development across the country.


“The united front of all stakeholders is essential in achieving the ambitious goals of the NSC and taking Nigerian sports to unprecedented heights,” he added.


Recall that President Bola Tinubu appointed Shehu Dikko as Chairman of the National Sports Commission on Wednesday.


This appointment followed the president’s decision to scrap the Ministry of Sports Development and transfer its functions to the Commission in order to develop a vibrant sports economy.
