Newly appointed National Sports Commission Chairman, Shehu Dikko, has promised to take the right steps to take Nigerian sports to new heights.
Dikko made the pledge 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 Enoh, on Friday in Abuja.
“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, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
He stressed the need for all stakeholders to rally behind the NSC so as 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 former League Management Company Chairman added.
“The united front of all stakeholders is essential in achieving the ambitious goals of the NSC and take Nigerian sports to unprecedented heights.”
President Bola Tinubu, as part of his cabinet reshuffle, on Wednesday appointed Shehu Dikko as Chairman of the National Sports Commission, as the sports ministry was scrapped.
