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.
