The Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Bukola Olopade, has reiterated the new transformative vision of the Commission during his meeting with the Directors and Heads of Departments of the Commission.
The DG emphasised the importance of a strategic, standardised and scientific approach to the Commission’s operations, including the conduct of sports federations elections.
Olopade stressed the need for reforms that would attract top administrators to vie for leadership roles within Nigeria’s Sports Federations.
“There is no way we can’t be looking at having top industry CEOs on board in our Sports Federations,” he said.
While highlighting the Commission’s mandate to elevate the corporate image of various sports in Nigeria, the DG reiterated the Commission’s commitment to reviving key initiatives such as the National Sports Industry Policy and the 10-Year Football Master Plan.
“The Chairman and I strongly believe we need to have a different approach to our Federation Elections. This is why the emphasis of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a balanced approach to both sports consumption and sports production.”
Olopade pledged to champion and support policies that will foster professionalism and sustainable development across Nigeria’s sports landscape.
