Described by insiders as a blockbuster team, the committee is tasked with charting a strategic pathway to reposition the NIS to fulfil its core mandate and align with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The composition of the committee reflects a deliberate blend of academic rigor, corporate strategy, technical sports knowledge, and media insight—a rare convergence aimed at redefining the future of sports education and development in Nigeria.

Notable members include Engr. Musa Kida, Chairman of NNPC Ltd and President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation, who brings decades of experience in both the oil sector and sports administration. Also on the committee is Mike Itemuagbor, Nigeria’s foremost sports marketer and CEO of Padmozi Sports International, the visionary behind the Okpekpe International 10km Road Race, the first World Athletics label road race in West Africa.

Professor Ken Anugweje, a respected professor of sports science and former president of NUGA, is another key member, renowned for his expertise in sports medicine and athlete welfare. Dr. Kweku Tandoh, a former Executive Chairman of the Lagos State Sports Commission, known for his strategic reforms and grassroots development initiatives, also joins the committee.

The list features standout former Nigeria internationals such as Mary Onyali, a five-time Olympian and two-time Olympic medalist, who remains one of Nigeria’s most decorated athletes and a symbol of excellence. Additionally, Yusuf Ali, a former African long jump champion and Olympian, now serves as CEO of the NSC’s Elite Athletes Development Board, while Coach Austin Eguavoen, a former Super Eagles head coach and ex-international, brings valuable technical depth and field experience.

Dr. Alex Mana, a retired international referee and respected sports administrator, is also included, alongside seasoned academics like Prof. Florence Adeyanju, Prof. Clement Fasan, Prof. Raimi Moronfolu, and Prof. Sadiq Abdulahi. Media professionals such as Andrew Abbah (representing SWAN) and Godwin Enakhena are also part of this distinguished team.

According to a release signed by Beldmond Benson, Registrar of NIS, the committee’s mandate is to advise on a comprehensive repositioning strategy that will elevate the institute to world-class status, comparable to leading sports institutes globally.

Director General Shaibu has made it clear that his administration is committed to transforming the NIS into a centre of excellence for sports education, research, and athlete development.

The inauguration comes at a critical time when Nigeria is seeking to harness sports as a tool for youth empowerment, economic growth, and international prestige.

This committee will be formally inaugurated on Monday, July 21, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Awoture Eleyae Conference Hall, National Stadium, Lagos, and is expected to deliver a blueprint that will guide the NIS into a new era—one defined by innovation, inclusivity, and international relevance.
