President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken a significant step to elevate the nation’s sports sector by prioritising its professional management through the National Sports Commission (NSC) to foster a sustainable sports economy.
Shehu Dikko, NSC chairman, said this during the Nigeria Olympic Committee’s (NOC) virtual annual general meeting (AGM).
Dikko said that by this arrangement, the government had initiated a shift from competition-focused to development-driven strategies aimed at ensuring commitment to grassroots sports development.
