It was likely due to his prior experience and connections in the sports sector that his colleagues elected him as the Chairman of the House Committee on Sports, even as a newcomer to the Parliament.

Gumel expressed his condolences, stating that the late Adams’ contributions to the country’s sports development would be greatly missed.

The NOC President highlighted the significant impact Adams had made in his short but impactful career, and pledged the committee’s support to his family during this difficult time. (vitalnewsngr.com)
