The sports community was still celebrating the
appointment of the youthful sports personality in the history of Nigeria sports
as Chairman National sports commission by Mr President Ahmed Bola Tinubu GCFR,
commander in Chief of the Armed forces federal republic of Nigeria making such a noble selection of Mallam SHEHU
DIKKO a tested sports administrator per excellence as against the norm of
appointing politicians often criticized claiming that sports has never been lucky
to get credible hands to run sports. The reason it was in the front burner that
sports been the unifying factor should not only be regarded recreation but
serious business hence it was a strong force in our national unity in a country
that sports has been recognized as a factor of unity. It is clear that the
difficulties includes but not limited to having the right structures in place
to drive this same policies that are written in rules and regulations that
incompetencies was the offer of the day driven by same people that took delight
in cychonveting a legitimate process presenting not to be able to interprete
the laws with strict adherence that pretenders took over the stages of
authorities. The
consensus opinion leaders has also celebrated one of their own with versed
experience in sports administration
with a huge
working profile in Mr Bukola OLAPADE
a strong insider and proven sports administrator who has also
lerant through the test of times as the director general national sports
commission by Mr President.
Yes, the sports commission has also come to stay
though the processes are going through the realization of attaining a
sustainable and efficient sports commission waiting for the accent of Mr
President. The appointment of the two best hands will further complement the
effort of Mr President to dust the final
documents that will be translated and drive the incoming genuine sports
commission that will lead us to prosperity as sports desire.
Kudos must be given to those that has kept the flag
flying from the days of implementing the programmes under the defunct federal
ministry of youths ,sports and social development where the Nigeria history has
been written in gold globally where it was legitimately operated as at that times. Though the commission
remain the modern trends to allow it's independence driven by the trained
professionals that will taken sports to
the next level.
Caution must be taking for those same pretenders that
took sports backward that are usually at the front burner claiming to be so
knowledgeable with suggestions to the
same problems that they so created when they were in power not too long ago.
It will not be business as usual considering the wide
range of working experiences in the wide range of challenges this two giants in
the duo of DIKKO and OLAPADE who are very conversant to the problems and
lasting solutions to sports.
This time around they are completely in charge to take
actions and in actions that they will also be held accountable when the need
arises in the nearest future.
It is definitely a complete rebuilding processes that
should re-ignite sports back to it's
lost glory which in the most recent past has given us consolations and their
first baptism is very close with the controversial federation elections which
should never be based on business as usual when mediocrity will be considered
over competence and performances to play it's way into governance. So over
priced personalities are often allowed to occupy roles that it has been obvious
majority has out use their relevance but
continually hold on to power as recreation in the name of been so experienced
than others when the generation has capable hands that can drive this beautiful
game to prosperity.
We are in the learning process but how many human
knows when to step aside when the ovation is loud in a part of honour than
continue to constitute was a friend usually regarded as been a nuisance to the
community that has given them same identity. Allow the Jeezy age to drive this
beautiful game and with the appointment of this two new generational products
and stay back from outside the fence to make suggestions not instructions for
the brand new commission to celebrate the past hierarchy in sports and continue
from the point they stopped. I strongly make the suggestion that they should
take a back state and diversify to allow sports to breadth for once. While the
sports community is grateful to Mr President for this noble appointments the
entire sports community congratulated the present hierarchy led by Mallam SHEHU
DIKKO.
