In a significant step towards revitalizing Nigeria’s sports, chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Mallam Shehu Dikko, has held a discussion with former Nigerian national team captain, Dr. Segun Odegbami, affectionately known as “Big Seg.”

The primary focus of their meeting centered around the ongoing sports reforms in Nigeria and the ambitious projects planned by the Commission.

At the forefront of their discussions was the MKO Abiola National Stadium, which is set to transform into a Sports City. This project aims to unlock the potential of Nigeria’s sports economy by providing world-class facilities. The renovation plans include a complete overhaul of the stadium to meet FIFA certification standards, highlighted by the installation of an advanced pitch designed to enhance the quality of play and host international events.

Mallam Dikko showcased his steadfast commitment to collaboration and transparency within the sports sector, humorously noting his “open door policy.” He emphasized his willingness to accept innovative ideas and partnerships that align with the NSC’s vision of shifting the sports sector’s focus from a consumption-driven model to a production-oriented one.

This represents a strategic pivot towards nurturing domestic sports talent and fostering local competitions, rather than primarily relying on international events.
