Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) president Gianni Infantino has congratulated Shehu Dikko on his appointment as chairman of National Sports Commission (NSC), and backed him to succeed in his new assignment.
Dikko, who is a member of the FIFA Stakeholders’ Committee, was recently appointed the chairman of NSC.
The NSC has been revived following the scrapping of the Ministry of Sports Development by the federal government.
Infantino believed Dikko’s experience would be vital in his new task.
He said, “I am convinced that your knowledge and experience, but also your passion and personal qualities, will have a significant impact in the accomplishment of your new tasks,” he wrote in his congratulatory message.
“I wish you the best of luck, and every success for all the challenges that lie ahead and already a lot of satisfaction in your new position.”
