Pinnick: NSC under Dikko will reposition sports

Former President of the Nigeria Football Federation and Nigeria’s member of the FIFA Council, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his choice of Mallam Shehu Dikko as chairman of the reinstated National Sports Commission (NSC).   

“I thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu immensely for this big task handed over to one man that I am convinced can do a good job. Dikko was very close to me personally during our years at the NFF because I saw in him a man with profound vision, dynamism, capacity for a lot of good and great things, positivity, and sincerity.

“Shehu Dikko personifies productivity and creativity, and every good thing we accomplished in those years had his hand in it. He is tireless and selfless and has acquired immense knowledge and experience in the sports industry over the past 30 years. I do not doubt that he’s the man to turn around our sports for the better and guarantee our athletes podium performance at the next Olympics in Los Angeles.”

Describing Dikko as a team player with integrity, energy, and resilience, Pinnick expressed confidence that Dikko will justify the confidence reposed in him by the Federal Government.
