National Sports Commission (NSC)’s Consultant, Bambo Akani, has promised to use his working relationship with foreign-based athletes to increase efficiency and productivity in the nation’s sports.

“To manage elite athletes requires a lot of perseverance and maturity, and I am sure Nigeria’s sports will benefit from this new arrangement,” Akani stated.

Alli, who was captain of Team Nigeria to two consecutive Olympic Games, Los Angeles 1984 and Seoul ’88, was coordinator of the country’s contingent to the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.
