Chairman of the National Sports Commission Mallam Dikko has said his decades of experience in football will be a blessing in disguise for other sports to grow in Nigeria.
This NSC boss stated this during an interview with TVC Sports Desk.
While answering questions on whether he will be a chairman for football alone, Dikko said his passion for the growth of Nigerian sports goes beyond football, despite his obvious track records in football over the years.
“Yes, a lot of people know me with football but I have been involved in other sports as I worked as an adviser to many past sports ministers with different proposals on how to fix the sports sector.
“So for me, my experience in football will be a blessing for other sports to thrive and we are ready to use football as a driver to push other sports. It’s all about balancing everything for the growth of Nigerian sports and developing a viable Sports economy”
“The responsibility is huge and to whom much is given, much is expected, therefore we have a duty not to disappoint Nigerians,” he said.
Dikko revealed that the next couple of months would be used to lay good foundation before going into full operation, where the country’s sports will be well managed and developed.
