A novelty match has been fixed for December 4, 2024 at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja between Team Shehu Dikko and Team Nigeria to drum up support for the chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Mallam Shehu Dikko.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR recently announced the scrapping of the Ministry of Sports Development and replaced it with a widely anticipated National Sports Commission (NSC), and the appointment of Shehu Dikko to head the commission has continued to generate widespread acceptance and commendation due to his vast experience in sports administration.
The organisers of the match tagged ‘Shehu Dikko Novelty match (SDNM)’, says Nigerian sports is about to soar with the appointment of Mallam Shehu Dikko as the chairman of the NSC.
“Nigeria’s Sports sector is now going through a reset which will ultimately change the trajectories of Sports in the country for good,” Organisers said.
According to organisers, the whole essence of the match is to honour and draw more awareness to the sports community that there is a new sheriff in town who will need the support of all Nigerians to lead the nation’s sports to where it truly belongs.
