NSC leadership heads to Zonal Elimination centres

Posted : 25 February 2025

The leadership of the National Sports Commission (NSC) will be actively supervising and monitoring proceedings across various centers as the zonal eliminations for team sports in the 22nd National Sports Festival take center stage this week.  


States will compete to secure spots at different zonal centers, including Ibadan, Benin, Enugu, Kaduna, Plateau, and Yobe, for various team sports ahead of the 22nd National Sports Festival, set to take place in Ogun State.  


The zonal eliminations will mark another significant step in preparing for the successful organization of the festival, scheduled for May this year in the Gateway State.  


The NSC leadership is committed to ensuring hitch-free zonal eliminations across all centers. To this end, the Chairman and Director General of the Commission, Mallam Shehu Dikko and Hon. Bukola Olopade, have decided to visit some of the centers.  


NSC Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko will oversee proceedings at the Kaduna center, while Director General Hon. Bukola Olopade will be at the Ibadan center. Their presence underscores the renewed commitment of the current NSC leadership.  


Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko emphasized that the zonal eliminations are as important as the festival itself, highlighting the determination to ensure a highly successful competition across all centers.  


"We are determined to do things differently, adhering to global best practices. This is why we are taking the zonal eliminations very seriously this time," he stated.  


Similarly, Director General Hon. Bukola Olopade affirmed that the Commission has provided all necessary logistics, through the Department of Sports Festival and Grassroots Development, to ensure each zone successfully hosts the qualification rounds.  


"The Gateway Games in Ogun State will be one of the best-organized editions in the festival's history. To achieve this, we must ensure the zonal eliminations are conducted at the highest standards," he added.  


The team sports featured in the zonal elimination phase include football, volleyball, basketball, hockey, cricket, beach volleyball, abula, and handball.
