NIGERIA Football Federation President Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau has congratulated the newly-appointed Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko.
Former NFF Vice-President and League Management Company Chairman Dikko was appointed to head the NSC yesterday as President Bola Tinubu scrapped the sports ministry in a cabinet reshuffle.
Gusau said he had no doubt that the Dikko’s vast experience in football administration had prepared him adequately to make a success of the new role.
“On behalf of the NFF and the entire Nigerian football fraternity, I warmly and heartily congratulate Mallam Shehu Dikko on this huge national assignment that has been presented to him,” Gusau said.
“I have no doubt that he has the knowledge, skill, experience, steadfastness, temperament, diligence and intelligence to make a success of the National Sports Commission.
“We served together on the same NFF Board for close to eight years, and I can attest to his enterprise and resourcefulness. He is a man full of meaningful and positive ideas, and the Nigeria Football Federation will surely work together with him to take our football to new heights of excellence.”
Dikko served as chairman of various committees in the NFF, including marketing and sponsorship, and was a member of the CAF Inter-Clubs Committee. He is still a member of the FIFA Football Stakeholders Committee.
