The Director General of the National Sports Commission
(NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade, has reiterated the new transformative vision of the
Commission during his meeting with the Directors and Heads of Departments of
the Commission.
The interactive sessions allowed senior officials to
introduce themselves to the new DG, who emphasized the importance of strategic,
standardized and scientific approach to the Commission's operations, including
the conduct of Sports Federation Elections.
In his remarks, Olopade stressed the need for reforms
that would attract top administrators to vie for leadership roles within
Nigeria's Sports Federations.
"There is no way we can't be looking at having
top industry CEOs on board in our Sports Federations," he stated.
The DG also highlighted the Commission's mandate to
elevate the Corporate image of various Sports in Nigeria.
He reemphasized the NSC's commitment to reviving key
initiatives such as the National Sports Industry Policy and the 10-Year
Football Master Plan.
"The Chairman and myself strongly believe we need
to have a different approach to our Federation Elections," he noted.
"This is why the emphasis of the Renewed Hope
agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a balanced approach to both sports
consumption and sports production."
The meeting reflects the new direction of the NSC,
with Olopade pledging to champion and support policies that will foster
professionalism and sustainable development across Nigeria's sports landscape.
