The National Sports Commission (NSC) has made a strategic move to reposition Nigeria’s sports industry by reassigning Secretary-Generals and Officers to various National Sports Federations. This decision aligns with the leadership vision of Alhaji Shehu Dikko and Hon. Bukola Olopade, who aim to revitalize the sports sector.
According to Olumide Bamiduro, Director of the Federation of Elite Athletes, “The mandate is clear. We are to undertake these changes to achieve results and position the industry to attract private and corporate investments, thereby driving the growth of our sports economy.”
The NSC has issued a circular to the Federation Establishment and Appointment Department to implement the new postings. This move demonstrates the Commission’s commitment to enhancing the functionality and performance of sports federations nationwide.
A total of 57 Secretary-Generals and 5 officers have been reassigned to new sports federations. They will play crucial roles in steering Nigeria’s sports sector toward innovation, grassroots and elite development, and economic growth.
