Tinubu signs Anti-Doping Bill into Law, strengthening Nigeria’s Sports integrity
Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Mallam Shehu Dikko, has expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for signing the Anti-Doping Bill into law, marking a significant milestone for Nigeria’s sports sector.
Mallam Dikko emphasized that the bill, nearly two decades in the making, reflects President Tinubu’s commitment to aligning Nigeria with global anti-doping standards and enhancing sports development.
He also appreciated the Attorney-General of the Federation and the National Assembly for their efforts in passing the National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) Bill, which has now been officially enacted.
The new law domesticates the International Convention Against Doping in Sport and establishes an independent body to enforce the World Anti-Doping Code and International Standards in Nigeria.
A major highlight of the Act is the creation of the Nigeria Anti-Doping Centre, which Mallam Dikko described as a crucial step in safeguarding the integrity of Nigerian sports.
