Sports Commission Promises New Sports Management Board, Says Chairman

Posted : 27 December 2024

The Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko, has revealed that the commission has set in motion the process to establish Nigeria’s first Sports Infrastructure Development Management Board.

 

Dikko disclosed that the move to create the new board is a result of efforts to revive the decaying state of sports infrastructure in Nigeria.

 

He added that the creation of the planned board is aimed at refocusing Nigerian sports from being solely reliant on participating in competitions to focusing on productivity levels.

 

The NSC boss explained that the plan is to reposition the sector to enable it to contribute to the national GDP through the concession and licensing of sports facilities to boost revenue generation.

 

He further disclosed that plans are underway to construct new stadiums in the six geographical zones.

 

He added that MKO Stadium, Abuja, would be used to kick-start the new revenue generation model being introduced by the commission.

 

Dikko opined that the new plan is part of the strategies to develop and sustain sports infrastructure in Nigeria through investment drives.

 

He boasted that the task is an easy one if the budget is available, adding that the commission has mapped out plans to engage potential partners from the public and private sectors to attract huge investments into sports infrastructure.
