NSC Restructures Sports Federations, Redeploys 57 Secretaries
In a major move to reposition the sports sector in Nigeria, the National Sports Commission (NSC) has redeployed 57 secretaries-general and sports officers to various National Sports Federations.
The Director of the Federation of Elite Athletes of the NSC, Olumide Bamiduro, who disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Abuja, stated that the 57 Secretaries-General and five officers had already been reassigned.
He stated that the decision aligned with the vision of the NSC Chairman, Shehu Dikko, and the NSC Director-General, Bukola Olopade, which was aimed at revitalising the sector.
“The mandate is clear. We are to undertake these changes to achieve the results and position the industry to attract private and corporate investments, thereby driving the growth of our sports economy,” Bamiduro stated.
According to Bamiduro, the country’s sports authority has ordered the Federation Establishment and Appointment Department to follow through with the new postings.
The directive outlines the commission’s strong commitment to enhancing the functionality and performance of sports federations across the country.
“They are expected to play pivotal roles in steering the sports sector towards its new direction, focused on innovation, grassroots/elite development, and economic growth.”
Some of the affected sports federations are athletics, handball, para-sports, basketball, badminton, boxing, cricket, table tennis, volleyball, and wrestling, among others.
