National Sports Commission (NSC) Chairman, Shehu Dikko, has pledged the commission’s commitment to support all Nigerian sports teams competing on the continental stage.

Dikko gave the assurance when the chairman of Enyimba FC and former Super Eagles star, Nwankwo Kanu, visited him at his Moshood Abiola National Stadium office in Abuja on Thursday.

Citing Enyimba FC’s role as Nigeria’s pride in African football, Dikko expressed joy at the club’s legacy and highlighted the need for technical, logistical, and possible financial support to help Nigerian teams achieve success and bring glory to the country.

“It’s time to change the narrative on the continent for every sport, not only football – we can’t sit back. For teams in different sports that qualify for continental competitions, they should be provided with more robust technical, logistical, and possibly financial support from the commission and their federations, as their success will bring glory to the entire nation,” Dikko said.

“For Enyimba FC, the standard set by the previous administrators of the club has been very high. You have a duty to maintain that standard and build on what you’ve met, and we’re sure you’re succeeding. Enyimba still holds Nigeria’s flag on the continent, and we’re proud of the club’s heritage,” he said.

As part of his vision for motivating Nigerian athletes, Dikko suggested that teams qualifying for continental events should receive a presidential handshake from the outset.

“Part of the motivation system is for us to ensure any contingent that qualifies for the continent gets a presidential handshake. This move will place our teams at the heart of the presidency, creating awareness that will attract government, private, and corporate support,” he explained.

He also called on former athletes to contribute to the development of grassroots sports.

Dikko added, “Rally your colleagues and ex-internationals. Many of them benefitted from grassroots development; it’s time to rebuild that system and support the next generation.

“We’re congratulating you, Dikko, and Nigerians are happy with your appointment. We’re confident we’ll see progress,” Kanu said.

“A sports legend who cannot give back to the nation or society cannot be called a true legend.

“On behalf of Super Eagles legends, I assure you of our 150 percent support for your vision. We want to build on the progress we’ve made,” he said.

The remarks from both Dikko and Kanu underscore a shared commitment to advancing Nigerian sports, reinforcing national pride, and strengthening support for grassroots development as well as teams on the international stage.
