NSC will support school sports to unearth new talents, says Dikko

Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko, has promised to support the Nigeria School Sport Federation (NSSF) in its mission to discover and nurture grassroots talent.

“The development of school sports is crucial,” Dikko stated. “We have been tasked with creating a sports economy, and this begins at the grassroots level where talent is first identified. Without a strong foundation, elite sports development is unsustainable.”
 
He added: “We plan to establish a comprehensive structure for school sports development in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Development and Education. We will support talented students through scholarships for international studies and work closely with their parents. We are aligned in our goals and would appreciate a formal presentation of your programs to see how we can integrate them with our initiatives.”

“Our shared vision for youth empowerment and sports excellence requires a united effort. We are confident that, under your leadership, we can build a stronger, more dynamic sports ecosystem. We pledge our unwavering support and commitment to the NSC’s vision and objectives. Together, we can elevate Nigerian sports to new heights and create a lasting legacy for future generations,” she said.
