National Institute Of Sports Partners NNPCL To Remodel Institute Into World Class – Shaibu

The National Institute for Sports (NIS) under the leadership of His Excellency, Comrade Philip Shaibu as the Director General and Chief Executive Officer is working round the clock to bring back the glory days of the Institute as well as remodeled it into a world class institution of repute.

To this end the NIS is in partnership with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to fuel the country’s sports Renaissance through the Petroleum to People Development (P2PD).

A Strategic Partnership Transforming Nigerian Sports Development in the corridors of Nigeria’s National Institute for Sports in Lagos, a quiet transformation is underway—one that mirrors the country’s broader evolution from resource extraction to human capital development.

At the heart of this metamorphosis stands an unlikely catalyst: NNPC Limited, Nigeria’s petroleum giant, now channeling its corporate influence toward building champions rather than merely fueling vehicles.

The partnership between NNPC Limited and the National Institute for Sports represents more than corporate social responsibility—it embodies a strategic convergence of national development priorities, youth empowerment imperatives, and the recognition that Nigeria’s greatest untapped resource isn’t buried beneath the Niger Delta, but running on makeshift sport arenas from Sokoto to Calabar.
